Exclusive: Sam Elliott has been set to narrate the four-part docuseries Honor Guard, the follow-up to Time To Kill Productions’ 2016 feature documentary The Unknowns.
Honor Guard follows U.S. Army soldiers who volunteer for the grueling training required to serve at the 3rd Infantry Regiment, aka The Old Guard, the oldest active infantry regiment in the Army. Those who pass earn a spot at The Regiment, in the Honor Guard Caisson Platoon, on the U.S. Army Drill Team, or participate in a full-honors funeral ceremony in Arlington National Cemetery.
Creators Neal Schrodetzki (who is also writing and directing) and Ethan Morse will film the never-before-documented training cycles. The pair met while serving together in the Army as guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, whose training was spotlighted in The Unknowns. It would later allow them exclusive access to film Honor Guard.
