The Walking Dead alum David Morrissey stars in Britannia on Amazon
By Adam Carlson
Don’t miss former The Walking Dead actor David Morrissey when he stars in the upcoming Amazon Prime historical drama Britannia in late January!
Fans of AMC’s The Walking Dead remember David Morrissey for his passionate and impactful role as The Governor, who ruled over Woodbury by winning over the people with charm and charisma while doing dastardly deeds behind their backs.
However, Morrissey is known for much more outside of the popular zombie survival drama series. He has been a part of some fantastic shows, including Doctor Who, The Missing, Extent, and many others.
Morrissey will also be appearing in the historical period drama Britannia coming to Amazon Prime on January 26th. Check out the official trailer featuring David Morrissey as shared by JoBlo TV Trailers on YouTube:
The trailer will draw many similarities to other dramas based on historical times. It’s easy to see influences from shows such as Vikings, Rome, and other period pieces, but the inclusion of Morrissey himself could help make this a unique and fun program.

In fact, several media outlets including SlashFilm and Inverse see Britannia as Amazon’s efforts to create a television juggernaut much like HBO did with Game of Thrones. If this program gets even a fraction of that kind of success, it could be a HUGE win for Amazon.
Here is how the series is being touted by Amazon:
"“Britannia begins in 43AD as the Roman Army, determined and terrified in equal measure, returns to crush the Celtic heart of Britannia, a mysterious land ruled by warrior women and powerful druids who can channel the mysterious forces of the Underworld. Arch Celtic rivals Kerra and Antedia must face the Roman invasion led by Aulus Plautius as it cuts a swathe through the Celtic Resistance.”"

With so many amazing visual effects and a fantastic cast to accompany former The Walking Dead actor David Morrissey, there is a great chance that Britannia could become one of the next big shows on television. Watch it on Amazon on January 26th.
