Sam Neill has been cast in The Dovekeepers, a four-hour CBS limited event series from executive producers Roma Downey and Mark Burnett, to be broadcast in 2015. The project is based on Alice Hoffman’s acclaimed historical novel about extraordinary women whose lives intersect in a fight for survival at the siege of Masada.
Neill joins Cote de Pablo (NCIS, The 33), Rachel Brosnahan (“Manhattan,” “House of Cards”) and Kathryn Prescott (Finding Carter, Skins), who star as The Dovekeepers, as well as Diego Boneta (Rock of Ages, Pele).
The Dovekeepers is currently in production in Malta.
