Synopsis

Those About to Die (2024), Season 1 is a historical drama you can watch online on iFILM — ten episodes set in the Rome of Emperor Vespasian. Bread the city already has. What it wants is blood on the sand.

Vespasian, played by Anthony Hopkins, keeps the mob fed with chariot races and gladiator bouts, and a whole underworld feeds off those games. Tenax, a sharp-eyed fixer from the streets, builds his own racing faction and poaches the champion Scorpus, while the emperor's sons Titus and Domitian circle the throne. Lower down, an African brother and sister are dragged to Rome to be sold, and two Spanish horse traders gamble everything on the track. Everyone here is trying to rise before the arena buries them. Then Vesuvius wakes up.

Based on Daniel Mannix's book and run by Roland Emmerich, the season trades subtlety for spectacle: huge crowds, faster races, and a body count that rarely lets a character coast to the credits. Stream Those About to Die Season 1 online on iFILM.
