Royal Kill List is a three-part history docudrama which tells the epic story of bloody revenge during a pivotal period of English history. This is a story about espionage, revenge, power, loyalty, and the moment that changed the landscape of British politics and society forever. This series follows King Charles II’s hunt for his father’s (King Charles I) killers – the Regicides - as a window into a remarkable and often overlooked historical period to explore how we became the nation we are today.
Episode 2 - Chaos & Rebellion
Seven months into his reign and Charles II is facing backlash for his treatment of the Regicides. Far from bringing Charles the security he seeks, his vendetta only rallies his enemies against him, while he slips further into despotism.
