Kaamelott (2005): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2005, Kaamelott is a comedy, drama and sci-fi & fantasy series.

What it’s about. Kaamelott is a French comedy medieval fantasy television series created, directed, written, scored, and edited by Alexandre Astier, who also starred as the main character. The series, which originally ran for six seasons (referred to as 'books'), ran from January 3, 2005, to October 31, 2009, on M6. In this offbeat account of King Arthur's quest for the Grail, virtually every journey, battle or adventure is stopped dead in its tracks by the knights of the round table's most worldly traits: cowardice, greed, idiocy or misplaced chivalry. As a consequence, instead of epic adventures we are treated with the characters' pragmatic and anachronistic take on each and every event in the Grail legend, true to the purest sitcom tradition.

Who’s in it. Kaamelott stars Alexandre Astier as Roi Arthur, Anne Girouard as Guenièvre, Lionnel Astier as Léodagan and Joëlle Sevilla as Séli, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 8.5/10, Kaamelott sits among the best-reviewed titles in the catalogue.
