Beowulf: Return to the Shieldlands is amongst the quietly announced titles set to release on Netflix in the United States beginning on December 1st . It wasn’t included amongst the official list of new releases, but the big-budget fantasy series based on the famous works will debut on Netflix for the first time nearly 10 years after its initial broadcast on ITV in the United Kingdom.

For those unfamiliar, Beowulf is the oldest surviving epic poem in the English language. Written in Old English (Anglo-Saxon) between 700 and 1000 AD, it tells a heroic story set in 6th-century Scandinavia. The story follows the life of the Geatish hero Beowulf, defined by three major battles against supernatural monsters: the monster Grendel, Grendel’s Mother, and the Dragon.
