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?
Best series ever The White Queen. I have read all the books what great materials other
Show even better than The Tudors. Very disappointed.
I guess I cancel my Starz subscription since DaVinci Demon’s is done for the season and the wont be bring back the White Queen…bad decision by someone to not run a second, third, and fourth season of such a great show with great actors.
Was so looking forward to season 2 ! That was mistake to cancel such a captivating series .
I love the white queen it was a good show. Why did you take it off . I can’t believe you cancelled the show. I beg you to consider. By bringing the show back The White Queen The show was a hit we loved it. please ‘ please’ please ‘ consider bringing the show back the white queen . thank you
Total crap no more for me if Magic city is cancelled and no more Whote Queen special after Boss it’s absolutely no pint in watching Starz originals cause your not making them to last. We finally thought… Awesome great show…but why when you don’t keep them going! Really bad really bad.

This is one of the best series in some time. Why on earth is it not continuing? Surely there is sufficient material in the Henry Tudor years-?!
why cancel the show it was really good.
How sad! A great story; a great script; a great production; a great cast. Boo-let it continue!
economically it would do very well. Someone is missing the boat!
