Packed with exciting heroes, adventure and romance, The Musketeers is a contemporary take on the classic characters created by Alexandre Dumas in his much-loved novel. Set on the streets of 17th-century Paris, the series follows honourable Musketeers Athos, Aramis and Porthos. After Henry IV’s assassination his son, Louis, is King and Cardinal Richelieu is Chief Minister. The growth of the Cardinal’s Red Guards sees the Musketeers, now King Louis XIII’s bodyguards, gradually marginalised and discredited. With the streets of Paris ruled by an iron fist, the future of the Musketeers is in serious peril as they fight for justice in a tough world.
