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?
I thoroughly enjoyed this series and was hoping that a continuation of King Henry VII and early life of King Henry VIII would be in the making.
PLEASE. Do a season 2!!!! This was a great mini series!
HOW COULD YOU JUST LEAVE ALL OF US HANGING AFTER MAKING ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS EVER!?!? PLEASE BRING THIS SHOW BACK, OR MAKE SOME KIND OF FOLLOW UP TO IT. PLEEEEEEEEZE!!!!
This is one of the best shows I have seen in years… It makes you feel every emotion, from great joy, humor, anger, sadness, etc. PLEASE CONTINUE WITH SEASON 2… IT BROKE MY HEART TO READ THAT THERE WAS ONLY ONE SEASON… NOT COOL.
This is one of the best series I have seen in a long long time. It was done with such style and the actors, clothing and settings were amazing. Please consider at least one more season. You left some serious fans yearning for more. I gladly would give this series a 5 out of 5 star rating. Excellant! Well done!
I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one dissapointed that there won’t be a Season 2. Are you kidding me??? This was an awesome series!!! Every aspect of this show; actors, location, costumes, directing, storyline-all done amazingly right! Why is it that other junk shows remain and the good ones get canceled? RECONSIDER AND CONTINUE.
You mean we don’t get to see what happens to Princess Elizabeth and the new King Henry? We have been left hanging! Do consider a Season 2…..many are waiting with baited breath!
It’s an amazingly good series and I would be so very sad if it did not continue. Historical, well acted, everything about this series was magnificent. Please continue to make excellent period piece work. It educates us and gives us sometime good to watch instead of mindless shows.
I really enjoyed these series and was looking forward to season 2. I am very upset that it won’t be continued
So loved this series! would so Love it if y’all would please bring it back…. definitely one of the best series ever!!
This was such a great show! Maybe someone should show it Jeff Bezos at Amazon as the company is funding series now and he will do a Season 2!
Watched this mini series on Amazon Prime. Hard to find great history stories and loved it. Would love to see this type of show to go forward and also backwards to the beginning of the Plantagenet line.
I loved this miniseries…Acting and costumes were superb..so disappointed there won’t be a second season

I can’t believe that the White Queen will not continue with a second season.
This was a remarkable story, fantastic actors, amazing custumes, so close to the heart.
Please do reconsider.
