Spike TV has greenlighted Tut, a six-hour scripted event series about Tutankhamun, aka King Tut (1333 to 1323 BC), the youngest Pharaoh to rule Ancient Egypt whose famous golden sarcophagus has become one of the symbols of the ancient civilization. This marks the first event/limited series for Spike in seven years, since 2007 The Kill Point, just as the genre is mounting a big comeback on television.
