Rise Of The Raven on SBS and SBS on Demand S1E1 – The story of Janos Hunyadi (Gellért L. Kádár) is the epic tale of a modest hero who against all odds, vanquished the much larger Ottoman army and halted its drive to conquer the Vatican and overrun Western Europe. In so doing, Hunyadi not only shaped the history of Hungary, but all of Europe.
This 10-episode mini-series set in the 15th century is based on the bestselling Hungarian novels by Mór Bán. With a visually striking contemporary approach, the series chronicles Hunyadi’s lifelong struggle against the ever-expanding Ottoman Empire as well as his enemies at home.
It all culminates in Hunyadi’s climactic victory against seemingly insurmountable odds when he defeats the invading Ottoman army at the siege of Nandorfehervar (contemporary Belgrade), a triumph that forever altered the fate of Europe.
The series is produced by Robert Lantos, and directed by Academy Award Nominated director Robert Dornhelm, Orsi Nagypál and Attila Szász, with showrunner Balázs Lengyel.

The first episode of Rise of the Raven introduces us to the life of Janos Hunyadi, and his fight against the constantly expanding Ottoman Empire, in the 15th century Central Europe.
