The History Channel’s ‘Alexander the Great’ in ‘Ancient Empires’
The History Channel’s recently debuted (September 4, 2023) a new episode on Alexander the Great as part of its three-episode show titled ‘Ancient Empires.’ While it has a few historical errors and a dark Alexander/blonde Hephaestion, it is interesting to watch. Please see https://www.history.com/shows/ancient-e ... /episode-1. A number of academic historians and military generals offer expert opinions in the show, including our own Dr. Jeanne Reames. (Kudos, Dr. Reames! Wonderful job!)

I don't know if you have to have SKY account for this, but the link isn't showing anything for Alexander. Or is it for the US only?

Sorry, Alexias. There may be a geographic restriction.

Thank you.
And yes, alas, I believe it's restricted to North America, at least for now, on their website.
Netflix's will NOT have a dark Alexander (who's taller than Hephaistion?!)
