Fans of the Revolutionary War spy drama “TURN” can get a sneak peak of the coming season Thursday evening, according to Colonial Williamsburg.

Williamsburg’s Kimball Theatre will host a screening of part one of the two-hour fourth season premiere on at 7 p.m., according to a release.

Parts of the ten-episode capstone season of AMC’s “TURN: Washington’s Spies” were filmed in Colonial Williamsburg, which has seen six production visits overall — including two for the coming season.

“At Colonial Williamsburg we tell early America’s enduring stories every day, and we are thrilled and grateful to support a project that inspires so many with the story of our nation’s founding,” President and Chief Executive Officer Mitchell B. Reiss said in a release.

“TURN’s” two-hour long season premiere will air nationwide on Saturday, June 17 at 9 p.m.

The drama kicks off this season with the story of Benedict Arnold, the traitor, who is seeking revenge on George Washington by collecting presumed rebel spies to curry favor with British commanders, the release said.

The show is based on the book “Washington’s Spies: The Story of America’s First Spy Ring” by Alexander Rose, who serves as a producer and on the writing staff.

Other Virginia locations featured in “TURN” include the campus of the College of William & Mary, Yorktown, Goochland, Petersburg, Tuckahoe, Richmond and the Scotchtown, Shirley and Westover Plantations.

Tickets for Thursday’s screening are $5 and available online or by calling 855-296-6627. Door open at 6 p.m.

Proceeds benefit Colonial Williamsburg’s educational outreach, according to the release.
