Discovery en Espanol to Premiere Miniseries HARLEY AND THE DAVIDSONS, 10/23

Based on a true story, the miniseries charts the birth of the iconic bike built from the ground up by three young men, the sons of blue-collars immigrants. Walter and Arthur Davidson and their friend Bill Harley risked their entire fortune and livelihood to launch the budding enterprise, but just how far would they go to reach the ultimate American dream? HARLEY AND THE DAVIDSONS will premiere Sunday, October 23 at 9PM E/P on Discovery en Espaol.

Led by an all-star cast including Michiel Huisman ("Game of Thrones") as Walter Davidson, Robert Aramayo ("Game of Thrones") as William 'Bill' Harley and Bug Hall ("The Little Rascals") playing the role of Arthur Davidson, the production takes place at the turn of THE 20 th century. Built in a shed out of Milwaukee, these motorcycles were able to survive nearly every condition imaginable, and Walter certainly put the bikes to the test. His ferocious ambition propelled him to become a top motorcycle racer while competing in the deadly competitions sweeping the nation. Walter's DAREDEVIL exploits put Harley-Davidson on the map and while risky pushed the company to eventually overtake their archrival competitor, Indian Motorcycle Company.

HARLEY AND THE DAVIDSONS looks at how the founders continued to grow its loyal following like no other competitor whether it was teaching riders how to make repairs on the field to embracing boisterous motorcycle clubs across the nation. Walter, Arthur and Bill cemented Harley-Davidson's reputation as a builder of bikes that goes anywhere, could ride hard and ignored all the rules. It's a legacy that has endured over 100 years and at the heart of the brand and its loyal riders.

Other cast members include Stephen Rider ("Daredevil"), Jessica Camacho ("Sleepy Hollow"), Daniel Coonan ("EastEnders"), Annie Read ("Awkward"), Wilson Bethel ("Hart of Dixie"), Dougray Scott (in "Mission: Impossible 2"), Gabe Luna ("Matador"), Alex Shaffer ("Win Win") and newcomers Essa O'Shea and Sean Scully.
