Starz Greenlights The Spanish Princess

Starz has given a series order to The Spanish Princess, a new story in the dynastic saga of Tudor England and adapted from the global best sellers The Constant Princess and The King’s Curse by Philippa Gregory.

The Starz original limited series continues the story from The White Queen and The White Princess. Produced by All3Media’s New Pictures and Playground, The Spanish Princess returns the audience to the world of royal court intrigue as seen through the perspective of the women. It also sheds light on a previously untold corner of history: the lives of people of color living and working in 16th-century London.

Emma Frost (The White Queen, The White Princess, The Man in the High Castle) and Matthew Graham (Life on Mars, Electric Dreams, Doctor Who) are serving as showrunners and executive producers.

Lionsgate retains all international and domestic distribution and home entertainment rights.

“Starz is committed to its ongoing programming strategy to provide premium content highlighting the untold stories of strong women in history,” said Carmi Zlotnik, the president of programming for Starz. “We have a passionate fanbase who embraces female-led stories like The White Queen and The White Princess and are excited to continue with Catherine of Aragon’s story in The Spanish Princess.”
