But what viewers may not realise is just how intense things got for leading man James Norton, who actually suffered quite the injury while filming the historical series.
Well, revealing more about the challenges they faced in bringing this expansive story to life for the screen, Kaletsky revealed to RadioTimes.com and other press in a screening for the series that there "were a ton" that they faced.
"That challenge ended up being an incredible blessing because you get the magic hour for many hours on end. The more immediate, painful – and I really mean that word literally – challenge was when Harold Godwinson fell off a horse and broke his collarbone."
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau – who stars as William, Duke of Normandy – joked whilst on the panel: "I didn’t know I could talk about that! I’ve been doing press the whole day, I’ve been so desperately wanting to say, ‘Did you know his collarbone was broken whilst we did that?’ but I thought it was a big secret."

Kitty then revealed: "Listen, it ended up being great because James had a break scheduled. We pushed the Battle of Hastings, we pushed Stamford Bridge until the very end of the shoot. And so, actually, all the stuff that’s to come is James."
"Actually, it was a remarkably quick recovery and it didn’t affect the shooting, it just was quite painful."
"The collarbone heals very quickly. I did all my own stunts – I had an amazing stunt double, but generally."
"Harold of Wessex and William of Normandy were two men destined to meet at the Battle of Hastings in 1066; two allies with no design on the English throne, who found themselves forced by circumstance and personal obsession into a war for possession of its crown."
