THE MUSKETEERS New Series U.S. Premieres *** SUN JUNE 22 at 9pm/8c *** Only on BBC AMERICA

Meet Athos (TOM BURKE, Great Expectations, The Hour) – brave, resourceful and a natural leader of men… but with a dark secret in his past.

A brilliant swordsman, Athos is the glue that binds the Musketeers together. His character commands respect. At first sight he can appear arrogant but his offhand manner disguises a deep capacity for friendship. He is wryly humorous and engaging but during bouts of solitary drinking he has the capacity to hit the self-destruct button. At these times, the bottled-up darkness from his past threatens to engulf him.

A fresh and contemporary take on the classic Alexandre Dumas characters, THE MUSKETEERS is set on the streets of seventeenth century Paris, where law and order is an idea more than a reality.
