The Musketeeres

The Musketeers is a BBC period action drama programme based on the characters from Alexandre Dumas's novel The Three Musketeers and co-produced by BBC America and BBC Worldwide. The first episode was shown on BBC One on 19 January 2014. It stars Tom Burke as Athos, Santiago Cabrera as Aramis, Howard Charles as Porthos, Luke Pasqualino as d'Artagnan, with Tamla Kari as Constance, Maimie McCoy as Milady de Winter, Ryan Gage as King Louis XIII and Alexandra Dowling as Queen Anne. It also features Peter Capaldi as Cardinal Richelieu in the first series and Marc Warren as Comte de Rochefort in the second series, with Rupert Everett as the Marquis de Feron for the final series.
Jessica Pope and Adrian Hodges produce the show for the BBC. The programme is largely filmed in the Czech Republic. In February 2015, it was announced that the show had been renewed for a third series, which was announced in April 2016 to be the last. The third series premiered in multiple countries first, before premiering in the UK on 28 May 2016, and concluding on 1 August 2016.
"Santiago is such an exceptional and intuitive performer and one of those rare talents who can take a page of dialogue and convey its meaning and emotion with a single look.
It was such a privilege to work with him on The Musketeers and seeing him find new and profound depths in the scenes I wrote for him. Aramis’ righteous fury when put on trial by Rochefort at the end of Season Two. His quiet devastation at all those lost years when he first catches sight of his son, The Dauphin. His spiritual and moral conflict when wondering whether or not to take Treville’s ministerial position at the end of Season Three. Santiago is a natural born storyteller.
He is also one of the most generous and gracious souls I’ve ever met and a phenomenal musician. One of my happiest memories on the show is when a whole bunch of us were sat round in his flat at four in the morning (a little worse for wear!) watching Santi play guitar while Ryan Gage and Thalissa Teixeira gave the most beautiful rendition of ‘Hallelujah.’ That was some band let me tell you!" (Simon Allen, Writer / Exec Producer The Musketeers, Season 3)
