Guardians (TV series)

Guardians is a British satirical superhero television series created by Adam Campbell-Sing, broadcast by the BBC since 2026. The show follows the eponymous team of immortal superpowered beings as they defend Earth from the evil army known as the Celestials, and 16-year-old Nate Norman, who is caught in the middle of the war after accidentally gaining superpowers, and subsequently finds himself struggling to balance his personal life and duties as Champion of the Guardians.

Guardians premiered its first season of eight episodes on BBC One in 2026. A second season premiered in 2027, with the third season following in 2028.

Protagonists

 * Nathan Donald "Nate" Norman / Normie: The central character of the series, a 16-year-old student at Woodlane High School in London who develops superhuman powers and abilities after being exposed to Guardanium in a freak accident. He can manipulate and transform matter through physical contact. Throughout the series, Nate discovers the harsh realities of being a superhero while struggling to fulfil his purpose as the Guardians' champion, and eventually learning that the true reason for his powers were a result of a family connection to a long-lost Guardian.
 * Guardians: Near-immortal superpowered beings created by the Elder Gods in the Life Forge and sent to various habitable planets across the universe to protect their respective civilisations against otherworldly threats. The group of Guardians on Earth are managed, sponsored, and monetised by Olympia International, after more Guardians were sent to Earth over the years, and required governance. Of the initial line-up of Guardians, six of the Guardians who specialise in physical combat (Atlas, Spartan, Torpedo, Inferno, Destroyer, Battleaxe) were considered the team's group of Fighters, while the remaining six who focus on either ranged combat or non-combative purposes (Tempest, Oblivion, Robot, Predator, Ice, Enigma, as well as, on an unofficial basis, Nate) were more of the Thinkers.
 * Introduced in Season 1:
 * Atlas: The powerful leader of the Guardians and the world's first and most revered superhero, who can fly and project cosmic energy beams from his eyes; he was the first Guardian to be sent to Earth by Ashrihem thousands of years ago, and over the years, he was incorporated into Greek mythology. Beneath his public image as the sworn protector of mankind for centuries, he has earned a reputation for being boastful and selfish, and caring very little for his team and more for his own public image, which often generates mixed feelings from the other Guardians.
