Ben Barnes In 'Sons of Liberty' - Get A First Look!

Ben Barnes dresses to the nines in his period costume for History Channel’s upcoming event, Sons of Liberty.

The 33-year-old British actor plays Sam Adams in the mini-series alongside Ryan Eggold as Joseph Warren, Michael Raymond-James as Paul Revere, Rafe Spall as John Hancock, and Henry Thomas as John Adams.

Sons of Liberty follows a defiant and radical group of young men as they band together in secrecy to change the course of history and make America a nation.Calling themselves the Sons of Liberty, they light the spark that ignited a revolution.

Though their names have become American legend, this group of young rebels didn’t start off as noble patriots in powdered wigs. They were a new American generation of young men from varied backgrounds, struggling to find purpose in their lives. They were looking for equality, but they found something greater: Independence.

Sons of Liberty premieres January 25th @ 9PM ET/PT on History Channel.
