‘Miracle Workers: Dark Ages’ returns with Daniel Radcliffe as…a royal?

Prince “Harry” he isn’t.

Daniel Radcliffe returns with Steve Buscemi for the second season of the comedy anthology series Miracle Workers. If the previous season saw them saving the world, the upcoming one sees the cast right smack in medieval times, when monarchy was a thing…only bloodier, dirtier, and less hygienic. Dubbed Miracle Workers: Dark Ages, the series has Radcliffe play Prince Chauncley, a pampered royal with an existential crisis…who happens to be the son of a bloodthirsty warlord. Buscemi–who previously played God in the first season–plays a peasant with the worst name and the worst job in the village.

Created by Simon Rich and executive produced by Saturday Night Live‘s Lorne Michaels, Miracle Workers: Dark Ages is a medieval story about friendship, family and trying not to be murdered. The second season of the anthology series centers upon a group of medieval villagers trying to stay positive in an age of extreme income inequality, poor healthcare, and widespread ignorance. This 10-episode installment will feature Daniel Radcliffe, Steve Buscemi, Geraldine Viswanathan, Karan Soni, Jon Bass, and Lolly Adefope returning in new roles and facing new challenges. Miracle Workers: Dark Ages is executive produced by Lorne Michaels’ Broadway Video with Andrew Singer and Katy Jenson executive producing alongside Rich, Radcliffe, & Buscemi. 

Miracle Workers: Dark Ages premieres on January 29 at 10:40 pm on Warner TV.
