Get Your First Look at Jodie Turner-Smith as 'Anne Boleyn'
The first images from the upcoming convention-defying drama Anne Boleyn are here, featuring Queen and Slim star Jodie Turner-Smith as the infamous Tudor queen.
The three-part series aims to re-examine the final months of the queen's life as a sort of period psychological thriller, as she struggles to save herself from death, secure a future for her daughter, Princess Elizabeth, and push back against the patriarchal society of Tudor England.
The Channel 5 series made waves with its casting of Turner-Smith, marking one of just a handful of times in which a Black actor has played a major royal figure on a British broadcaster. And the released images are certainly lovely, particularly the striking portrait of Turner-Smith in black velvet, sporting Anne's signature "B" pendant.
