“THE WHITE QUEEN” is a riveting portrayal of one of the most dramatic and turbulent times in English history. A story of love and lust, seduction and deception, betrayal and murder, it is uniquely told through the perspective of three different, yet equally relentless women – Elizabeth Woodville, Margaret Beaufort and Anne Neville. In their quest for power, they will scheme, manipulate and seduce their way onto the English throne.

The year is 1464, before the Tudor dynasty ruled the country, and war has been ravaging throughout England over who is the rightful King. It is a bitter dispute between two sides of the same family, The House of York and The House of Lancaster.

The House of York’s young and handsome Edward IV is crowned King of England with the help of the master manipulator, Lord Warwick “The Kingmaker.” But when Edward falls in love with a beautiful Lancastrian commoner, Elizabeth Woodville, Warwick’s plan to control the throne comes crashing down. A violent, high-stakes struggle ensues between Elizabeth, her most fierce adversary, Lancastrian Margaret Beaufort, and Anne Neville, the pawn in her father’s power game – each woman vying for the crown.

 

Will Starz make “The White Princess” Miniseries?

1385999_Enlarged_1

After “The White Queen” finale last night on Starz many fans were asking – will there be another season?! According to the Telegraph, Starz is working to create a TV show based on Philippa Gregory’s latest novel, “The White Princess”.

In its infinite wisdom, the BBC chose to drop The White Queen, which starred Rebecca Ferguson, but an American cable channel is to recommission the enjoyable, if flawed, show.

Mandrake hears that Starz hopes to develop The White Princess, a stand-alone mini-series which is also based on Philippa Gregory’s novel series, The Cousins’ War.

A spokesman for Starz says American audiences are more forgiving than their British cousins when it came to historical inaccuracies.

“The White Queen” was filmed as a miniseries, ten episodes total, and was based on Philippa Gregory’s “The Cousins’ War” series. It was not meant to have a sequel, but the fans in the US have been asking and it looks like they are going to deliver! Or at least we hope they do! The fifth book in “The Cousins’ War”, that just came out this summer, is titled “The White Princess” and tells the story of Elizabeth, daughter of Elizabeth Woodville.

We will definitely post more news about this exciting development as soon as we know! Were you a fan of “The White Queen”? Would you watch this series? Let us know in the comments!
