"Kings" is an upcoming TV series coming to NBC, based on the David vs. Goliath story set in the modern day. The series is set in a modern day metropolis under siege where the fighting has gone on for too long and cost far too many lives. When David Shepherd (Christopher Egan), a brave young soldier, rescues the king's (Ian McShane) son from enemy territory, he sets events in motion that will finally bring peace. Suddenly, David is thrust into the limelight, earning the affections of women, including the king's daughter. When he's promoted to captain, he becomes the reluctant poster boy for hope. But for David, the line between his allies and enemies will blur as the power players in the kingdom go to great lengths to see him fall and there's no telling who will win.cite web|url=http://www.cinemablend.com/television/New-NBC-Series-Kings-Winter-2009-9799.html|title=New NBC Series: Kings - Winter 2009|work=Cinema Blend|accessdate=2008-05-14] The series is scheduled to premiere Sundays at 10pm, during midseason 2009.
