Even though Starz just premiered their new TV series, The White Queen, we already know there won’t be a second season.
Based on Philippa Gregory’s bestselling historical novel series The Cousin’s War, The White Queen tells the story of three very different women as they attempt to scheme, manipulate and seduce their way onto the English throne. The cast includes Max Irons, James Frain, Rebecca Ferguson, Janet McTeer, Ben Lamb, Amanda Hale, Tom McKay, Aneurin Barnard, David Oakes, Faye Marsay, and Eleanor Tomlinson.
The show is co-financed by the BBC in the United Kingdom and Starz here in the states. The 10-part series began airing on BBC1 in June and completed its run last Sunday night.
According to Broadcast Now, the BBC has maintained that The White Queen was intended to run just one season. However, Gregory had hinted that there were hopes to continue the drama via an adaptation of The White Princess. That novel follows the story of Elizabeth of York who went on to marry Henry VII, the first Tudor King.
It now appears that a continuation won’t be happening. A BBC spokesperson said, “The White Queen will not be returning, but it is important to note that it was never actually conceived as a returnable series.”
What do you think? Are you sorry that The White Queen won’t be continuing in some form? Are you glad that the story was designed to wrap after 10 episodes?
Love this show…bring on season 2…has been the best thing on TV in a while!!! Have looked forward to each episode!
Please let there be a season 2 I fell in love with this story.

As a fan of all of the Books concerning the cousins war and the tutors I would love to see it continue!!!!!!!!
Please….more, more!! Continue the series…love it!
While I’m not surprised that it is ending and there is no season 2 I must say that they did an excellent job with the telling of the story. I loved this show and I would have welcomed a season 2 if they were to do so. I agree with whoever said that there is basically crap on TV lately and this was a smart and actually pretty accurate story about the war of the roses. BBC and Starz please do more like this and I will gladly make it appointment tv!
please let there be a second season 2 White Queen
I love this series. There is so much trash on TV. This series is so good. Please run another season!
I loved it and hope it will return
there must be a second season am dying here
Bring it back!! Its soooo good.
Another series!! I’d keep up with it. I love the historic feel to it.
I would love if they continued the series…. the BBC cancelled it but they were working with Starz.. Starz can just take over…. I think it is better than a lot of shows on television these days, and even though it is not “by the book” historically accurate, it does tell the over all story…. PLEASE STAY!!!!!!!!!!
