The premise, according to Starz, is that “long before she ascended the throne, young Elizabeth Tudor, (played by Alicia von Rittberg) was an orphaned teenager who became embroiled in the political and sexual politics of the English court. The death of King Henry VIII sees his 9-year-old son Edward (played by Oliver Zetterström) take the throne and sets into motion a dangerous scramble for power when Elizabeth, Edward and their sister, Mary (played by Romola Garai) find themselves pawns in a game between the great families of England and the powers of Europe who vie for control of the country.”
The cast also includes Jessica Raine, Tom Cullen, Jamie Blackley, Alexandra Gilbreath, Jamie Parker, Leo Bill, Bella Ramsey, Ekow Quartey, Alex Macqueen and Olivier Huband.
