March 3rd is when it airs in the United States and Canada I believe, and it is produced by The History Channel and other companies.
After watching Hatfields and McCoys last year, I was really hoping that History would do more shows like it. It looks like my hopes have been answered.
I have been talking to a guy who was (supposedly) an extra in the show (on another site), who had talked to many of the other extras. One of those extras had been in both Game of Thrones and Braveheart, while many of the others had been in Game of Thrones. All were highly impressed with the production values of this venture, which can only mean good things coming from GoT and Braveheart veterans. Also, the show is being produced by Michael Hirst, who was behind The Tudors and The Borgias, two well produced Showtime shows.
Here's a link concerning part of the production concerning longships
