Plot
Mini-series explores the inner workings of Saddam Hussein's family and his relationship with his closest advisers
A wealthy-looking man is sat on a huge golden throne surrounded by well-dressed members of his family, who wouldn't look out of place in US soap Dynasty - but this is no ordinary man. This is the former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein as he appears in a new BBC2 drama The House of Saddam. Saddam is played by actor Yigal Naor.
BBC Drama Production announced a gripping four-part BBC Two drama series that tells the story of Iraq under Saddam Hussein's leadership, from 1979 until his downfall and subsequent execution in 2006.
The House of Saddam focuses on the lives of Saddam's closest family and an elite few. An intimate portrait of the world of Saddam's inner circle, it charts the rise and fall of one of the world's most terrifying regimes.
Kate Harwood, BBC Head of Drama Series & Serials, says: "This is an electrifying account of how one man used fear and violence to divide and rule both a nation and his own family. It is a bold commission for BBC Two shot in Tunisia with a truly international cast."
Co-written by BAFTA award-winning Alex Holmes (Dunkirk) and Stephen Butchard (Vincent), House Of Saddam is a BBC/HBO co-production. Executive producers are Alex Holmes and Hilary Salmon (The Passion, Five Days, The Long Firm, Shoot The Messenger).
