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?
Please continue the series!! It was very great 🙂
Please continue the series. It is very well done with excellent actors!!! My husband and I absolutely loved it.
I agree with what someone else has already said, I only just heard of the series and me and my wife went through the whole season in about 3 days, just loved it!
The series had to end as it was concluded. Most of the characters were dead. It took us from the marriage of Elizabeth Woodville to Edward IV to the Battle of Bosworth. The White Queen was no longer the white queen – her story was over (mainly) and Edward, George and Richard were dead as was Warwick, Henry VI … The story was told. The next story is of Henry VII …
Ps it is Should HAVE not should of ..
No, they should have continued as a series, as the book series does, because they set us up connecting The White Queen’s daughter with the father of Henry the VIII.
Please continue the series. The actors are amazing the story is amazing. Less close ups though please. Please continue it. It was definitely a sleeper series that has taken people a year to discover!
