AMC's newest original series "Turn" premiered last night, and many viewers are already hooked. The show centers on the spying that took place within the army during the Revolutionary War. For spoilers for the second episode, as well as the rest of the season, read on.

Jamie Bell plays the show's main character Abraham Woodhull. Bell recently sat down for an interview with TV Guide to discuss the new show.

"We're peeling back a layer of the Revolutionary War that I don't think has been captured before, or at least hasn't been focused on," he explained.

Bell went on to discuss how he believes "Turn" will draw audiences this season.

"I think we're humanizing a lot of this period in history that has been in some way forgotten about, or is now just maybe thought of in the wrong light. This is really shedding light on a story that almost nobody knows about, and it's so crucial to the identity of America today," the actor said.

Bell also discussed his character Abraham Woodhull with TV Guide.

"He's an ordinary guy in extraordinary circumstances. And I think the journey of the character throughout the season is one where he restores his political beliefs. He finds his voice," Bell said.

For all new episodes of the new show "Turn," tune into AMC Sunday evenings at 9/8c.
