Decades before Cleopatra becomes Egypt's legendary queen, the ruthless Ptolemaic dynasty wages a brutal war of ambition, betrayal, and bloodshed as siblings, lovers, and rulers fight for control of the most powerful kingdom in the ancient world.

SYNOPSIS:

Genre: Historical Drama / Political Thriller Series

Tagline: Before there was Cleopatra, there was blood.

Egypt is the richest kingdom on earth, but beneath its gold, temples, and monuments lies a dynasty built on paranoia, betrayal, and murder.

Following the death of Alexander the Great, the Ptolemy family rises to power and claims the Egyptian throne. What begins as a legacy of conquest quickly transforms into a generations-long struggle for survival as rival heirs, ambitious queens, jealous siblings, and power-hungry rulers turn against one another in pursuit of the crown.

As alliances shift and bloodlines fracture, the family's obsession with power threatens to consume the very empire they seek to control. Every marriage is political. Every alliance is temporary. Every act of loyalty comes with a price.

Through decades of palace intrigue, assassinations, civil wars, and forbidden relationships, the dynasty grows increasingly unstable, creating the conditions that will eventually give rise to one of history's most famous women.

While the world remembers Cleopatra as a queen, few know the dangerous family that shaped her destiny.

BLOOD OF THE NILE is a sweeping historical drama series about legacy, ambition, and the devastating cost of power, revealing the scandalous rise and fall of the dynasty that created a legend.
