Season 2 returns on January 2! Don't forget. I'm marathoning S1 right now. It's really funny for me to see our Czech country and castles and towns etc. in a British show about the French musketeers. LOL!

"The Musketeers: Trailer - BBC One" (Watch on YouTube)

Don't forget, UK BASED FOLKS! The Three Musketeers on BBC tonight, at 9pm! Gosh, Peter Capaldi as Richelieu and Santiago Cabrera as Aramis! Mwah! \o/

Also, speaking of Aramis. I really hope this show will dig deeper into his background, especially into his connection to Richelieu. AFAIK, only the movie with Chris O'Donnell ever even mentioned it. I mean, Aramis was the go-to guy for Queen Anne, it was he who helped organize her clandestine meetings with the Duke of Buckingham. How could a lowly musketeer do that? We know that he had wanted to be a priest before he joined the musketeers and since he obviously still has some very powerful connections, he must have been high-born, he must have known Richelieu personally... And yet, no adaptation EVER explored that! Gosh, I wish and hope that this time they do. Can you imagine Aramis as Richelieu's protégé? *_*

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Just... EEEEEEEEEEEEE! I want to watch so many of them! Sherlock, Quirke, The Three Musketeers, The Great Train Robbery...!

OMG! The Sherlock bit! And... The Three Musketeers look so, soooooo much better than I expected it to! Forget about Atlantis, the wannabe Merlin that - at least so far - looks utterly ridiculous! The Three Musketeers will be IT this season, the replacement for Merlin and with Santiago Cabrera as Aramis, too!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I can't wait for this TV season to start \o/

Santiago Cabrera AKA Merlin's Lancelot was just cast in BBCA's new historical adventure series The Three Musketeers as ARAMIS, my favorite musketeer! EEEEEEEEEEEE!

The Musketeers, premiering in 2014. Luke Pasqualino (Skins, The Borgias) will star as D'Artagnan alongside Musketeers Tom Burke (Great Expectations, The Hour) as Athos, Santiago Cabrera (Merlin, Heroes) as Aramis and Howard Charles (Royal Shakespeare Company) as Porthos. Together they are a crack-team of highly trained soldiers.

(...)

Set on the streets of seventeenth century Paris, where law and order is more an idea than reality, the series follows Musketeers Athos, Aramis and Porthos. They are far more than King Louis XIII's personal bodyguards. They stand resolutely for social justice, for honor, for valor, for love - and for the thrill of it.

D'Artagnan, a skilled fighter from rural Gascony, meets the three Musketeers while on a mission to right the wrong of his father's death. Although he meets the men in unfortunate circumstances, he finds kindred spirits in the other soldiers. Athos, who has rejected his noble roots to become a Musketeer, has a past shrouded in mystery. He quickly befriends D'Artagnan, but is prone to getting in trouble.

Porthos is a larger than life character, who has come from humble beginnings to become a soldier in the most elite regiment in the land, finding a family in the other Musketeers. Never short of admirers, Aramis has an effortless charm which leads him in and out of love. Despite this, he is a shrewd pragmatist who is ferocious in battle and commands a key place in the brotherhood.
