iflix, the world’s leading entertainment service for emerging markets, has announced that it will be the exclusive online home for Sky’s highly anticipated historical period drama, ‘Britannia’. iflix subscribers across the region including Sri Lanka can now stream or download each episode from the moment of release, exclusively on iflix.
Set in 43AD, Britannia tells the story of the determined, but terrified Roman invaders and the occupied Celts and Druids, whose lives are changed forever by the arrival of a new world order. Britannia begins in 43AD as the Roman Army, determined and terrified in equal measure, returns to crush the Celtic heart of Britannia – a mysterious land ruled by wild warrior women and powerful druids who can channel the mysterious forces of the Underworld. Arch Celtic rivals Kerra (Kelly Reilly) and Antedia (Zoë Wanamaker) must face the Roman invasion led by the towering figure of Aulus Plautius (David Morrissey) as it cuts a swathe through the Celtic Resistance. Britannia joins iflix’s extensive library of popular exclusive titles from Sky including ‘Riviera’ and ‘Tin Star’.
