Starz has had some ratings success adapting the novels of Philippa Gregory as limited TV series. The premium cable’s newest such offering is The Spanish Princess TV show, based on The Constant Princess and The King’s Curse. Does this sort-of-sequel to The White Princess (itself a follow-up to The White Queen) have what it takes to woo back its viewers? Although it seems intended as a mini-series, will it prove such crown jewel that it returns for another round? Will The Spanish Princess be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
