The Hollywood Reporter has learned that the History Channel has cast Dean Norris (Breaking Bad) in its new miniseries, Sons of Liberty.
History’s official description for the series is “Calling themselves the Sons of Liberty, they light the spark that ignited a revolution. Though their names have become American legend, this group of young rebels didn’t start off as noble patriots in powdered wigs. They were a new American generation of young men from varied backgrounds, struggling to find purpose in their lives. They were looking for equality, but they found something greater: Independence.”
This latest miniseries joins History’s Texas Rising, Hatfields and McCoys, and The Bible as History’s number of miniseries grows. A premiere date for Sons of Liberty has not been announced yet.
