Nero the Assassin is a 2025 action-adventure drama series set in 16th-century southern France, following a hired sword forced out of the shadows when his own estranged daughter's life is placed in danger by the ruthless nobleman he serves.
What is Nero the Assassin about?
In the sun-scorched landscapes of Renaissance-era southern France, a man who has spent years carrying out dangerous work for a powerful and ambitious lord finds himself at a crossroads unlike any mission he has faced before. Word reaches him that his daughter — a young woman he scarcely knows, separated from him by years of absence — has been drawn into a perilous situation tied directly to the schemes of his employer. Loyalty to a cruel master collides with the raw instinct of a father who realises he may have only one chance to act. With danger closing in from multiple sides, he must decide how far he will go and what he is willing to risk to keep her alive.
