Starring Tom Riley ( Monroe, I Want Candy), as the title character, Da Vinci's Demons is a historical fantasy, following the “untold” story of the world's greatest genius during his turbulent youth in Renaissance Florence. Brilliant and passionate, the 25 year-old Leonardo Da Vinci is an artist, inventor, swordsman, lover, dreamer and idealist. As a free thinker, with intellect and talents that are almost superhuman, he struggles to live within the confines of his own reality and time. He begins to not only see the future, but invent it.

The series also stars Laura Haddock ( The Inbetweeners Movie , Captain America: The First Avenger ) and Lara Pulver ( True Blood , Sherlock , Robin Hood ).

Da Vinci’s Demons is the first project to enter production under the multi-year agreement between Starz and BBC Worldwide. Goyer is showrunner with Julie Gardner (Doctor Who) as executive producer, along with BBC Worldwide’s Jane Tranter. Production began this summer and Starz will premiere an eight- episode first season in the States in 2013.
