Knightfall Season 1 now only on iflix

iflix, the world’s leading entertainment service for emerging markets, announced the exclusive premiere of hit series, ‘Knightfall’.

Now anyone in Sri Lanka with or without an active iflix subscription can stream or download all 10 episodes of the highly anticipated period drama, exclusively on iflix.

Knightfall begins after the fall of the city of Acre, the Templar’s last stronghold in the Holy Land, where the Holy Grail is lost. Years later, a clue emerges suggesting the whereabouts of the Grail and sends the Templars, led by the noble, courageous and headstrong Templar Knight Landry (Tom Cullen, Downton Abbey, Gunpowder), on a life or death mission to find the lost Cup of Christ.

From their battles in the Holy Land, to their clash with the King of France, to the dark events leading to the demise of the Templar Order on Friday the 13th, 1307 —a date which became synonymous with bad luck— the story of the Knights Templar has never been fully told until now. Focusing on themes such as belief, sacrifice, politics, love, power and revenge – Knightfall goes deep into the clandestine world of this legendary brotherhood of warrior monks to find out who these knights were, how they lived and what they died believing.

Knightfall is an A+E Studios production in association with The Combine, Island Pictures and Midnight Radio. Don Handfield (Touchback, The Founder, Kill the Messenger) and Richard Rayner (L.A. Without A Map) serve as creators and executive producers for The Combine, with Oscar and Golden Globe nominee Jeremy Renner (American Hustle, The Hurt Locker) also serving as executive producer.

Minister Arjuna Ranatunga stated that development of the country is fuelled by the peaceful co-existence between the different ethnicities in Sri Lanka. He made this reviews during an Ifthar ceremony held at Ceylon Petroleum Storage Terminal Limited (CPSTL) in Kolonnawa, recently.

CPSTL organised this ceremony under the advice of Chairman Dhammika Ranatunga. Workers of Islamic faith from CPC and CPSTL participated to break the Ramadan fast at this historic event.

“In the past, there was no unity between ethnicities. We started to separate in schools as well as in the community. The past three years our government strives to halt this ethnic divide by cultivating national unity in a reconciling Sri Lanka. During the Sinhala and Tamil New Year we celebrate the Sri Lankan culture. Ramadan teaches about self-discipline, generosity and charity. While there are some unseen forces that are creating disharmony we should stand in solidarity as a united Sri Lanka,” Ranatunga stated.

Chairman Dhammika Ranatunga stated that priority should be given to work together for the betterment of the institutions and the country.

“When Minister Arjuna Ranatunga was the Minister of Ports, our principal was to celebrate all religious ceremonies. Bitter incidents took place, few months ago. They have forgotten that everyone has same blood,” Chairman stated.

Petroleum Resources Development Ministry Secretary Upali Marasinghe, CPC Managing Director Neil Jayasekara and CPSTL Managing Director Sanjeewa Wiyarathna graced the occasion.
