Jeremy Boreing, Co-CEO of DailyWire+, to Direct ‘The Pendragon Cycle,’ Takes Leave of Absence.
DailyWire+ Announces Production of Epic King Arthur Series
Exciting news from DailyWire+
DailyWire+ announced Friday that production will start in September on its most ambitious production to date, a scripted series adaptation of the reimagined historical fantasy books based on King Arthur, “The Pendragon Cycle,” the multi-award-winning series written by Stephen R. Lawhead. Jeremy Boreing will direct the seven-episode first season with co-director Ryan Whitaker (“Surprised by Oxford”).
Not only that, but Boreing will be taking a temporary leave of absence from his role as co-CEO of The Daily Wire to bring his passion project to life on the screen. Co-CEO Caleb Robinson will step in as CEO until Boreing returns.
A Dream Come True
“I have dreamt of bringing Stephen R. Lawhead’s books to the screen for twenty-five years,” said Boreing. “Based on perhaps the most impactful myth in Western tradition, the Legend of King Arthur, this series helped shape my worldview since reading it as a teenager. Yet it is bittersweet, as to bring this project to screen means to leave the country and temporarily step down from my role as co-CEO of The Daily Wire.”
The first season of the DailyWire+ series is inspired by the first two books of the six-book series. The Pendragon Cycle offers a unique retelling of the Arthurian legend, set in a Roman-occupied Britain where the seeds of Christianity are beginning to take root. As barbarian invaders threaten the Island of the Mighty, only those with faith in the true God will prevail.
Boreing, Robinson, and Ben Shapiro are executive producing this epic series. Joining them as executive producers are Dallas Sonnier and Danielle Cox of Bonfire Legend, Daniel Kresmery of Hero Squared, and Ryan Whitaker. Travis Mills, Ari Novak, and Amanda Presmyk are producing, alongside Jonathan Halperyn of Hero Squared, Augusto Pellicca of Augustus Color, and Jules Nasso.

Filming for the first season will take place in Hungary and Italy throughout the year, with a diverse cast coming together. The series will be exclusively available on DailyWire+ in 2024.
2023 is set to be a monumental year for DailyWire+ as it brings several major projects to the platform. Among them is ”Convicting a Murderer,” a 10-episode series presented by the fiery Candace Owens, as a response to the controversial 2015 series, “Making a Murderer.” Additionally, the highly anticipated kids’ entertainment offering will launch later this year.
