The Hunt is ON! Go to our YouTube channel for the first episode - Hunt.

The official trailer for Riese: The Series. Starring Christine Chatelain, Sharon Taylor, Ben Cotton, Patrick Gilmore and Ryan Robbins. Premieres November 2nd.

Riese is a world of moral ambiguity and political intrigue. A decimated land populated by characters from dreams and nightmares. Loyalties are ever in question, suspicion in the minds of all. The realm, however, was not always so cruel. Everything began with a peaceful nation called Eleysia.

The Kingdom of the Wolf, Eleysia was once prosperous due largely to the influence of Empress Kara and Emperor Ulric. This all changed when a coup detat, orchestrated from the shadows by a religious cult, brought about a total regime change.

Taking the throne was Amara, the Empresss cousin. A power-hungry tyrant, Amara immediately utilized Eleysias wealth and power to begin colonizing the world, crushing nation after nation in order to unite the people under one banner. Even as she assaulted the world, an ominous, enigmatic group clearly wielded power over her. Called The Sect, they purported themselves to be the official religion of Eleysia, and began to spread alongside Eleysias borders.

Since the coup, the land has begun to die, resources are dwindling and compassion is fading. Humanity itself is seen as impure. People have grown restless, almost feral. Rituals and mythology have resurged, and the darker side of mankind has begun to reveal itself.

The true horror of the world is not in how it ends, but what will become of mankind as it fractures.

And yet, despite the impending doom, a single beacon of light shines in Riese. A mysterious wanderer, she travels with her wolf Fenrir across this barren land. Branded as heretics by The Sect, Riese and Fenrir will pause to aid those in need as they travel, but they must evade capture at all costs. As she flees, shell piece together her past and her destiny, in a conflict that will hold the fate of this world in the balance and the once peaceful kingdom of Eleysia will be the battlefield.

  • @Biida They are references to Norse mythology. You'll see Fenrir in a lot of fantasy settings. He was a wolf, son of Loki, destined to kill Odin during Ragnarok.

  • Steampunk is a visually wonderful genre of art...but "Riese" was a poorly done series and a very cheap, horrible way of  the mainstream jumping on a new bandwagon due to the increasing popularity of this art form (...which I was afraid would happen.). After watching a few episodes, I see this as nothing more than a cleaned up "steampunk" fashion show with CG effects, a lukewarm storyline, and B-Movie quality acting.

  • This series is actually very good in Brazil is going through and I watch whenever it passes. And it's amazing.

  • It's like....it's like....well, nobody knows. They took it off and left 1 clip that doesn't show us anything. Plus when I could only watc around 1 minute of what was considered an episode. I thought....why am I?

    It maybe difficult. But unless it is finished. It's more like watching a movie and having it stop for a month every time it goes to another scene.

    Not only do we lose interest. It fails to seem coherent.

  • this is a bit like Legend of the Seeker meets The Tribe..

  • @JCubDK watchseries. eu/ serie/ riese remove the spaces and put w's before

  • Aw, man! :-(

    I can't watch it just because I'm in Denmark!

  • Question: What is the purpose of those glasses? I don't see any airplanes, air balloons or ornithopters around. Why on earth does she need them?

  • Steampunk? That's it, I'm bought.

  • wished they would put this out on dvd.....i want it!
