Summary

This Sunday, the 12th of June, on Starz, we will be introduced to their new historical drama called, Becoming Elizabeth.

Follow Elizabeth Tudor, an orphaned teenager, who becomes embroiled in the political and sexual politics of the English court on her journey to secure the crown.

We are so excited to see what this eight-episode series will reveal about the history we already know - and so much Thomas Seymour!

I had the privilege to discuss the upcoming release with Becoming Elizabeth creator, writer, and executive producer Anya Reiss on the matter.
