Kings is a show from 2009 that got cancelled after a season but that isn’t stopping us from talking about Sebastian Stan as Jack, prince and sad boy!
If you love Sebastian Stan, you’ve probably at least scene the GIFs from Kings if you haven’t seen the show itself. So when I suddenly rediscovered my love of SebStan, I had to watch this show that my friends continually told me to watch.
And let me tell you, we really messed up with this one. We could have had so many wonderful seasons of this incredibly original series and instead, we all watched something else and got it cancelled. Kings focuses on an American like country that is ruled by a monarchy. Sebastian Stan plays Jack Benjamin who is, arguably, not the main character.
In fact, David Shepherd (Chris Egan) is, because it is based on the biblical story of David. But that didn’t stop fans of the show from clinging to Jack and never letting go. He’s the prince, destined for the crown, but he is gay and can’t act on it because he’s in line for the throne.
He cries a lot, he’s angry, and he’s still baby faced in a lovely way and has a prominent butt chin. What’s not to love? Honestly, I’m mad this show got cancelled. Can we start a petition 8 years later to try and get it to come back?
Luckily for you though, Kings is available on the NBC app for free or you can buy it and make it clear that we all want to have more of Jack Benjamin crying and spending all the Royal trust on his friends.

If this wasn’t enough to get you excited, Sebastian Stan is in uniform the majority of the show and that’s definitely a look we all need in our lives.
