Starz has greenlit “The White Princess”, a follow-up to the company’s 2013 original miniseries event “The White Queen”.
Starring Rebecca Ferguson, the series is adapted from Philippa Gregory’s novel of the same name. “The White Princess” tells the story of England’s War of the Roses from the perspective of the women.
The 8-episode limited series drama is currently in pre-production, scheduled to air in 2017.
The White Princess concludes the story of England’s War of the Roses and charts the rise of the House of Tudor through the tortuous marriage between Princess Elizabeth of York and King Henry Tudor. The year is 1485 and Princess Elizabeth, daughter of “The White Queen,” has been pledged in marriage to the newly anointed King Henry Tudor in hopes that it will bring peace to a war torn country. England is united, but their marriage is soon divided, as rumors circulate that Elizabeth’s long-lost brother Prince Richard is alive and planning to take the throne. Now she must choose between Tudor wife and York princess, between her new husband and the boy who claims to be her own blood and the true heir to the crown.
