As creators of Game of Thrones, David Benioff and DB Weiss found themselves in huge demand following the success of the epic fantasy drama. In 2019, the pair signed a $200m deal with Netflix, and this week sees the release of their first one-off film for the streaming service.

Metal Lords follows teenagers Hunter (Adrian Greensmith) and Kevin (Jaeden Martell) as they struggle to fit in at their US high school. While their classmates are listening to Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber, Hunter and Kevin are rocking out to classic albums by Black Sabbath and Anthrax.
