Netflix's new fantasy series The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself has unveiled its first trailer.

The show, which stars Titans' Jay Lycurgo, certainly looks fantastical going by the footage, with plenty of action (and lots of blood) as the actor's character Nathan weighs up his identity in a world filled with magic.

The full synopsis reads: "It's a story about the indomitable will to survive and defy the odds. 16-year-old Nathan (Lycurgo) is the illegitimate son of the world's most dangerous witch.

"Fearing he will follow in his father's footsteps, Nathan is constantly monitored. But as the boundaries between 'good' and 'bad' fray, Nathan – along with mischievous Annalise and charismatic Gabriel – will soon discover who he truly is."

Alongside the Titans star, the series also features appearances from Starstruck's Nadia Parkes, Transferts' Emilien Vekemans, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes' Isobel Jesper Jones and Motherland's Paul Ready.
