What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the Starz cable channel, the Becoming Elizabeth TV show stars Alicia von Rittberg, Oliver Zetterström, Romola Garai, Jessica Raine, Tom Cullen, John Heffernan, Jamie Blackley, Alexandra Gilbreath, Jamie Parker, Leo Bill, Bella Ramsey, Ekow Quartey, Alex Macqueen, and Olivier Huband. The story revolves around the younger years of Elizabeth Tudor (Rittberg), long before she ascended the English throne and became Queen Elizabeth I. An orphaned teenager, she became embroiled in the political and sexual politics of the English court. The death of King Henry VIII sees his nine-year-old son Edward (Zetterström), take the throne and sets into motion a dangerous scramble for power when Elizabeth, Edward, and their sister Mary (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.
Season One Ratings
The first season of Becoming Elizabeth averaged a 0.01 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 136,000 viewers in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how Becoming Elizabeth stacks up against other Starz TV shows.
Becoming Elizabeth has been cancelled, so there will not be a second season. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will Starz cancel or renew Becoming Elizabeth for season two? The cable channel has aired numerous historical dramas in the past and they typically wrap up in one season. This show hasn’t been promoted as a one-and-done limited series so, I suspect there’s a good chance that there will be more story to tell in a second season.

What do you think? Were you hoping that the Becoming Elizabeth TV show would be renewed for a second season? Are you sorry that Starz cancelled this TV series, instead?
Really annoying 2nd series being cancelled. I thoroughly enjoyed the first series. Please re consider a 2nd Becoming Elizabeth.
Yet again I watch something and get interested in it and then it’s cancelled. I’m very disappointed and I hope another channel will take it on as I know Season 2 had been planned.
I loved it and am saddened to learn it won’t be back.
Couldn’t get enough! Loved it!
I watched becoming Elizabeth I think it was a good series. I like all the casts and actors they did a wonderful job creating the scene, and drama was on point. I would say give it a second because it’s a good show and it very interesting.
This was such a high level series; superb acting, beautiful scenery, gorgeous costumes. Wish there were more shows in this time period and of this caliber.
I sure hope there are more episodes. This story should end with her ascending the throne. Where it ended in episode 8 left everything hanging. There’s still Mary’s whole reign to be gotten through. I thought it was a great series and was disappointed to see that this was it.
Love the show! Hope there is a season 2!
Hope this series is renewed for a second season.
I hope we see season 2. I love this show
I thought it was great!! I hope there will be a second season and a couple more episodes in season two.
Becoming Elizabeth is excellent! Obviously there is a lot more ground to cover and we cant wait for season 2!
I like it so far but I’m waiting for a little more excitement. The white queen, the Spanish princess was great! I’d like to see more of that!
I’m loving Becoming Elizabeth! I’m also hoping STARZ renews for a season 2, and adds more than 8 episodes! This is always the problem with all the STARZ series about English period pieces. They could make them go on for much longer but never do. There is an audience that loves period pieces on English Queens and Kings, especially when the writers follow the real stories with little embellishment. I have a feeling though, that STARZ, once again, will disappoint the many of us who love this series, and end it after 1 season. Not everyone likes the mindless garbage… Read more »
I have found Season 1 to be difficult to follow. A lot of that is due to the fact that the series address a time in Elizabeth’s life that has not been overly documented in the media. With the speed that the story is going, I predict that season one will end when Edward dies, and Mary takes the crown, which will the be the story of Season 2. I think Season 2 will be much more interesting that Season 1
