The Musketeers is a British period action-drama program based on the characters from Alexandre Dumas's 1844 novel The Three Musketeers[1] and co-produced by BBC America and BBC Worldwide.[1] The series follows the musketeers Athos, Aramis, and Porthos as they serve King Louis XIII and citizens of 17th-century Paris. The first episode was shown on BBC One on 19 January 2014.[2] It stars Tom Burke as Athos, Santiago Cabrera as Aramis, Howard Charles as Porthos, Luke Pasqualino as D'Artagnan, Tamla Kari as Constance Bonacieux, Maimie McCoy as Milady de Winter, Ryan Gage as Louis XIII and Alexandra Dowling as Queen Anne. It also features Peter Capaldi as Cardinal Richelieu in Series One, Marc Warren as Comte de Rochefort in Series Two,[3] and Rupert Everett as the Marquis de Feron in Series Three.
Jessica Pope and Adrian Hodges produced the show for the BBC. The program was largely filmed in the Czech Republic. In February 2015, it was announced that the show had been renewed for a third series,[4] which was announced in April 2016 to be the last.[5] The third series premiered in multiple countries first, before premiering in the UK on 28 May 2016, and concluding on 1 August 2016.[6][7]
