Michael Arden will play a role on the upcoming NBC Kings, his character is described as a gay love interest for one of the series’ major players.

NBC Kings is an exploration of the timeless David vs. Goliath struggle. The show is set in a modern metropolis under siege, where the fighting has gone on for too long and cost far too many lives. When David Shepherd (Christopher Egan, “Resident Evil: Extinction”), a brave young soldier, rescues the king’s (Golden Globe winner Ian McShane, “Deadwood”) son from enemy territory, he sets events in motion that will finally bring peace. David is thrust into the limelight, earning the affections of women — including the king’s daughter. When he’s promoted to captain, he becomes the reluctant poster boy for hope. But for David, the line between his allies and enemies will blur as the power players in the kingdom go to great lengths to see him fall. Sebastian Stan (”Gossip Girl”) also stars.

“Kings” is a production of Universal Media Studios; Michael Green (NBC’s “Heroes”) is the executive producer.  Francis Lawrence (”I Am Legend”) is the director and executive producer and Erwin Stoff (”I Am Legend”) also is executive producer.
