The first episode of the series will also be broadcast on BBC One that evening, followed by the second on the bank holiday Monday, with the remaining six episodes then airing weekly on Sunday evenings.
Alongside the release date announcement, the BBC has also shared several new images from the starry drama – offering a closer look at James Norton and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as feuding leaders King Harold II and William the Conqueror respectively.
You can find all of those images on this page.
King and Conqueror takes us back to the period preceding the Battle of Hastings and is described by the BBC as "the story of a clash that defined the future of a country – and a continent – for a thousand years, the roots of which stretch back decades and extend out through a pair of interconnected family dynasties, struggling for power across two countries and a raging sea".
The series also stars Clare Holman as Gytha, Luther Ford as Tostig, Bo Bragason as Queen Gunhild, Indy Lewis as Margaret. Elander Moore as Morcar, Geoff Bell as Godwin and Jean-Marc Barr as King Henry.
Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com last year, Norton explained that he was especially excited about King and Conqueror due partly to the fact that he was an integral part of the behind-the-scenes team in addition to his starring role.
He added: "That's another story, which, you know, bizarrely, has never been told on film. We've never seen a Battle of Hastings drama. So, yeah, so exciting, so exciting. I'm so proud."
More recently, he told The Guardian that his own knowledge of the period had been limited until he embarked on the project, explaining that he just "had a vague gloss of it from school".
"It’s mad to think nobody has really done it before. And that’s one of the reasons we spent so long developing it."
