Written by Michael Vickerman, Peter Paige and Bradley Bredeweg ("The Fosters"), "Tut" also stars Nonso Anozie ("Game of Thrones"), Sibylla Deen ("Tyrant"), Alexander Siddig ("Game of Thrones"), Kylie Bunbury ("Under the Dome"), Iddo Goldberg ("Salem") and Peter Gadiot ("Once Upon a Time in Wonderland").

The six-hour event premieres July 19-21 on Spike.
