At today’s Starz portion of the TCA Winter Press Tour, CEO Chris Albrecht said that the cable channel is considering a sequel to The White Queen — The White Princess.
According to Deadline, he said, “We’re working with [The White Queen screenwriter] Emma Frost on the stories… We will not have BBC as part of it. We are interested, if the stars align, in a sequel to The White Queen.”
The limited series apparently performed well for Starz but was less successful for the BBC which co-produced. The latter has decided not to continue with the property.
Like the original series, The White Princess would be based on the book by historical novelist Philippa Gregory.
What do you think? Did you like The White Queen? Would you like to see a sequel?
I would be absolutely disappointed if a sequel to The White Queen is not filmed.
I was totally gripped with the first season. So many series with this theme focus on Henry the VIII, this focus was more on how he got there. Please, Please, continue as me and hubby are awaiting more on this historical period and the artistic way in which the story is told.
Love it and want MORE!
l hope that you will do a sequel of the white queen please. I really liked that showh
To the Powers that Be at STARZ: I am gutted to think this wonderfully rich, historical drama will not be continued, as “The White Queen” more than brilliantly captures both the beauty and the brutality of 15th century England, with all it’s Royal intrigue and deceptions. Beautifully shot with lush locations and sets, accurate costume design and make-up……well, it’s all such a treat. The Actors do more than ample justice by fleshing-out an interesting script, and I found myself experiencing a true emotional connection to this literary tale. I appreciate the fact that the sex and nudity is not gratuitously… Read more »
STARZ, Please do the world, and yourselves, a favor and pursue this very intelligent decision you seem to be teetering on the edge of making. Phillipa Gregory has already set this series up for success. And no insult intended toward the author of the last post, but Merlin is not even in the same ballpark as the Stars/BBC production of The White Queen. (Don’t get me wrong… I’m a huge Merlin fan and was very disappointed when I found out it was dropped.) However, this show is hands down a contender with my absolute favorite shows; which consequently ALL happen… Read more »
What??? Are they kidding?? Great show, typical, cliff hanger as usual. They did that with the Merlin series as well. Hard to find historical drama’s these days.
yes i liked it and am looking forward to a sequel
Sadly, my cable service did not include the Starz network, so I needed to patiently wait for several months to purchase Season One on DVD. I am totally enjoying the show, and like many of the other writers, I am greatly interested in seeing more. I would love to add the sequel, or season two to my DVD collection.
I loved the series, the history was intriguing. And I am devastated a sequel may not occur.
Yes, please continue with this wonderful series! It has been wonderfully produced-thank you.
