Online platform Hulu Japan has picked up all rights to event miniseries Tut, starring Ben Kingsley in the tale of ancient Egyptian ruler, Tutankhamun.

The three-part six-hour mini-series, which Hulu Japan acquired from Canada’s Muse Distribution, premiered on Spike TV on 19 July.

New Zealand’s Sky will also air the series, which traces the life of a boy who became Pharaoh at the age of nine, his rise to power and his struggle to become a great leader, while his closest advisors, friends and lovers scheme for their own nefarious interests. Tut was produced by Muse Entertainment.
