A full series three synopsis reads:

Series three sees a radical transformation in Cait’s (Eleanor Worthington-Cox) journey as the Chosen One with a decision that will tie her to the future of her war-torn people and their ravaged land.

Aulus (David Morrissey) comes under pressure from a new and dark force – otherwise known as his wife (Sophie Okonedo), whilst Amena finds herself in a lethal Ménage à trois with both of them. Divis gets a new job which he despises, and Veran goes to the underworld and sees the future.

Created by the multi-award-winning writers Jez Butterworth, his brother Tom Butterworth and James Richardson. Epic, action packed, full of humour and terrifying in equal measure, Britannia is produced by Vertigo Films and Neal Street Productions in association with Sky Studios.

The eight-episode drop means fans will be able to watch the entire series right away – assuming they have a day or so to spare – though if they still can’t wait, never fear. You see, as a special treat we can also reveal a new teaser image for the series (above), including the first look at Britannia newcomer Sophie Okonedo as well as returning stars like Crook, Wanamaker and Morrissey.

New threats! Old magic! A rising rebellion? Sounds like this is a series not to miss…

Britannia series three comes to Sky Atlantic and NOW on Tuesday 24th August. Want more? Check out our dedicated Fantasy page or our full TV Guide.
