  • Summary

  • On this episode, host Dana Schwartz (Noble Blood) talks with the cast and creators of the Peacock Original Series Those About To Die about bringing ancient rome to life. Names like Vespasian, Titus and Domitian are instantly recognizable, locations like the Circus Maximus and the Colosseum loom and the gritty underbelly of Roman society feels familiar…and also alien, all at the same time. With that history in mind, it felt important for this first episode of Rise or Die to zero in on the historical inspiration for the series. Why was 79 CE the perfect year to set Those About To Die in? To find out, we spoke to series director and executive producer, Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, The Patriot) about what drew him to this specific chapter of Roman history. We also talk with series production designer Johannes Mueke, and actors Iwan Rheon and Sara Martins. Stream Those About To Die after the episode, only on Peacock.
