"Daughters of the Dawn" is a sweeping historical drama set in an alternate version of the ancient Mediterranean, inspired by the matriarchal Minoan civilization and other real-world matrilineal societies. In this world, women hold the highest positions of political, spiritual, and economic power, shaping a society built on consensus, communal resource management, and goddess-centered spirituality. The series explores the complexities of leadership, family, and cultural change as the matriarchal order faces both internal challenges and the looming threat of patriarchal invaders from neighboring lands.
The show blends the lush visual world of palace complexes, ritual festivals, and vibrant markets with the intimate drama of intergenerational relationships, political intrigue, and the struggle to preserve a way of life. Each season follows the intertwined fates of several women from different walks of life, as well as the men who navigate their own roles within this unique society.
