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 the show. Please reconsider bring it back for another series. There are . Very few shows I enjoy,and this is one of the top three.
I really love this show, this is the first historical show that i enjoy, plzzzz reconsider it

I so enjoyed watching the White Queen. Please reconsider. I am so looking forward to Season 2.
Why????? Why does every good show get cancelled so early?????? BRING IT BACK!!!!!!
I loved the show and would like STARZ to renew for the Second Season. All the historical shows are so good. HISTORICAL, you can learn so much from!
Anything Historical I would love to see, I am hoping the second season will come to STARZ!
Very upset to find out White Queen is not coming back. it is the only series that I enjoy. I was telling everyone to watch it. My daughter started to watch it, because I told her about it. She is going to be disappointed. We thought the next season would be called Red Queen for her daughter.
I am very sad they will not do a season 2!
So disappointed this show will not be returning, Please reconsider BBC!!!
