Kit Harington’s latest TV project is headed to HBO. The pay cabler has acquired the BBC One miniseries Gunpowder headlined by the Game of Thrones star, it was announced Tuesday. Harington stars as Robert Catesby, who was the driving force behind the Gunpowder Plot in London in 1605. A committed Catholic at a time when Protestant England persecutes Catholics relentlessly, Catesby’s refusal to abandon his religion brings him to the edge of financial, social and psychological ruin. Ronan Bennett (Top Boy) penned the project which was directed by J Blakeson (The Disappearance of Alice Creed).
