Tut is a Canadian-American miniseries that premiered on U.S. cable network Spike TV on July 19, 2015.The three-part miniseries is based on the life of Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun. Tut was first announced by Spike in May 2014. The miniseries marks a return by the network towards scripted programming, and in particular, "event" series that cater to a "balanced" audience (in contrast to the remainder of Spike's programming at the time, which has typically skewed towards a male audience). Such event series have also been recently popular among other networks, such as History. Tut is produced by Muse Entertainment, best known for its other miniseries The Kennedys and The Pillars of the Earth.In 1332 B.C.E Pharaoh Akhenaten (Silas Carson) has been poisoned by his most trusted servant. His nine-year-old son, Tutankhamun (played briefly by Kaizer Akhtar) is then thrust into the position of Pharaoh of Egypt and forced to marry his older sister Ankhesenamun (Sibylla Deen). But over the course of the following years, the Vizier Ay (Ben Kingsley) takes control of the important decisions that Tut is expected to make and ten years into his reign, a now teenage Tut (Avan Jogia) finds the country in economic turmoil and crops ruined by drought. Tutankhamun must use his power as Pharaoh to deal with a deadly plague spreading through his kingdom all while his enemies continue their plot to conquer Egypt, even if it means they'll have to eliminate him. | |

| Tut / int_1dfd19f9 | comment |
Papa Wolf: There are a few points in the series where Lagus comes across as a non-related one on the account of the teenaged Tutankhamun; most notably when he is imprisoning Ankhesenamun after Suhad's murder, and his response to her pleas to protect her brother is that he's never going to let him out of his sight. | |

| Tut / int_267ce120 | comment |
Dirty Old Man: Notably averted, as Ay is never indicated to have any sexual attraction to Ankhesenamun, and is only interested in her as a means to the throne. This doesn't stop Ankhesenamun from trying to invoke this trope. | |

Sexy Surfacing Shot: Grand Vizier Ay approaches Queen Ankhesenamun while she's bathing to discuss the possibility of them marrying. At the end of the conversation, she makes a point of slowly emerging from the water in front of him before turning him down. The audience only sees her Toplessness from the Back and Shoulders-Up Nudity. | |

Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated: Tut is reported by Horemheb and Ka to have died in the battle against the Mitanni which went awry. Whilst Tut did fall in the battle, he was only injured and rescued by Suhad thus allowing him to come back to Egypt and catch both his former allies red-handed in an attempted coup. | |

Oh, Crap! | |
| Tut / int_ad1db87c | comment |
Oh, Crap!: Several occur during the course of the miniseries, but the most notable are: Lagus realizing that the peasant he conscripted into aiding him with an undercover mission and unintentionally badmouthed the Pharaoh in front of, is King Tutankhamun himself. Luckily Tut found what Lagus had said humorous and actually decides to befriend the older man. The full context behind this is that Tut snuck out of the palace disguised as a peasant twice, both times running into Lagus. The first time is because Tut fell for a trap (A man pretended to attack a woman) and was almost robbed at knifepoint. The second time (and the time he first meets Suhad) is at a trading center where a slightly suspicious Lagus forces Tut to aid him and a few other soldiers in an undercover mission to kill Mitanni spies. Afterwards a frustrated Lagus blames the Pharaoh for the Mitanni' acts, before taking it back upon realizing he said this in the presence of a stranger, to which Tut replies that they are no longer strangers and asks questions regarding the Pharaoh. Unaware that the young man he is with is Tutankhamun, Lagus reveals that the populace is convinced that the Pharaoh is a weak, sickly boy King "whose face is so scarred, it makes children weep' and whom some believe doesn't even exist. Lagus then reveals that several people, including General Horemheb, are working against him (Tut). The biggest one occurs during the coronation when Ka realises that Tutankhamun's alive, and a betrayed Tut quietly declares him a traitor and stabs him. | |

Ms. Fanservice: Kylie Bunbury as Suhad is in two racy sex scenes as the title character's lover, nearly though not quite displaying nudity. Sibylla Deen is no slouch in this area either with having several scenes bathing as well as a sex scene with Ka. | |

Easily Forgiven: Averted for Ankhesenamun. Tutankhamun is understandably furious when he realizes that Suhad was murdered by his sister and orders for her execution. Later on after he's mellowed a bit and has begun to die from the infection in his broken leg, he asks to see Ankhe and she says to him that she knows better than to hope for his forgiveness, but it's revealed that Tut has called off her execution and forgives her on the grounds that she's still his sister and asks her to stay with him until he dies (see Stay with Me Until I Die). | |

| Tut / int_f4f3252e | comment |
Law of Inverse Fertility: Initially paired together as King and Queen by their dying father, Ankhesenamun and Tutankhamun bear the heavy responsibility of having an heir to carry on their family's dynasty. Tragically, the two babies they have conceived together passed away in miscarriages, as does the Queen's third child, conceived with Ka. Not only must Ankhesenamun and Tutankhamun continue moving forward as heartbroken parents, but without a son in the Queen's arms, Tut's early death results in a succession crisis. | |

This is not reflected so much in hair color but Tutankhamun is played by an actor of British-Indian and British-German descent, Ay is played by an actor of Gujarati and British descent, Horemheb is played by a British-Nigerian actor, Ankhesenamun is played by an actress of Pakistani and English descent and Akhenaten is played by an actor of English and Indian descent, reflecting the kind of place Egypt has always been. | |
