Watch Beowulf: Return to the Shieldlands Season 1, Episode 1 Online

After spending many years wandering as a mercenary warrior, Beowulf returns to Herot to pay his respects to the recently deceased Thane, Hrothgar - the man who raised him. But when Herot is attacked by the terrifying monster Grendl, Beowulf has no choice but to hunt it down, winning favour with Herot's new female Thane, and the wider community, in the process. Thus begins a personal journey that sees this mighty and capable man slowly reconnect with the notion of family and home. This action-packed 13 part drama series is set in the mythical Shieldlands, a place of spectacle and danger populated by both humans and fantastical creatures. Beowulf: Return to the Shieldlands is a series about courage, greed, betrayal, revenge, loyalty, power, man versus wilderness and, of course love. It is a series that explores the notion of good and evil, heroes and villains. However, beyond these wider political undercurrents and inner personal turmoils are the excitement, danger and sense of adventure that any great Western has. Epic fights, thrilling chases, raids, celebrations and battles are an essential part of the promise.
