Recently, the unfortunately named Starz network has been making a push to join the likes of HBO, Showtime, and AMC in the league of prestigious cable networks. While their half-hour comedy Party Down sunk in the ratings, it remained a cult and critical success, and provided actors like Jane Lynch and Adam Scott with significant career boosts. Spartacus has also been well-received, but hasn't quite captured the zeitgeist as shows like Mad Men and Boardwalk Empire have. Today, we got our first extended look at Starz's latest bid for cable legitimacy in the form of Camelot, an hour-long drama about King Arthur's court that features a cast surprisingly stacked with, well, starz.

It feels like exactly four years ago (maybe because it was) that Eva Green turned Daniel Craig's steely James Bond into a cry baby in Casino Royale. Now here she is as Arthur's ambitious half-sister Morgan. As for Arthur, he's being played by Jamie Campbell Bower, who made his film debut in Sweeney Todd, and recently appeared in New Moon and the final Harry Potter movies. Rounding out this group of reformed movie actors is Joseph Fiennes as Merlin and Claire Forlani as Queen Igraine. Camelot premieres in April. See what it's all about above.
