Starz

Premium cable network Starz continues to burnish its reputation as a home for female-fronted historical dramas, greenlighting a new adaptation focused on the life of the infamous Catherine de Medici called The Serpent Queen. 

Cable network Starz is continuing their comment to telling female-focused historical stories and is developing a new drama based on the famous life of Eleanor of Aquitaine.

Though Starz period drama The Spanish Princess stretches the truth a bit about Catherine of Aragon's historical role in the Battle of Flodden, that in no way diminishes the impact - or importance - of the story the show is trying to tell. 

The first trailer for The Spanish Princess Season 2 shows Catherine of Aragon preparing for battle - in more ways than one.

Star period drama The Spanish Princess is returning for its second and final season later this year, and we’ve finally got a first look at the new season. (Spoiler alert: It’s very pretty.)

Let's face it, we're all looking for a little escapism these days. Journey back to the past with these ten lavish - and highly entertaining - historical dramas, availble on a streaming platform near you!
