WATCH: The Making of ‘The White Queen’

“The White Queen” three-disc set containing all 10 episodes and bonus features is coming out February 4th and you can get back into the royal groove with this sneak peek look at the making of the series!

[youtube http://youtu.be/iblnRGHlVuI]

 Based on Philippa Gregory’s series of best-selling novels, “THE WHITE QUEEN” is a vivid re-telling of the classic War of the Roses family feud (York vs. Lancaster) from the viewpoint of the women involved. The set contains all 10 gorgeous episodes of the drama, plus a bountiful supply of bonus features.

“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.

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!

Philippa Gregory, the author of The Cousins’ War series, the books for which “The White Queen” was based upon, took to Twitter today for a fan question Q&A.  So many questions were submitted and she answered as many as she could within the hour time slot – even going over a bit!

One question that got me excited was hearing that Philippa is working with STARZ about series 2! And she’s working with BBC about the Order of Darkness series! Eeekk!
