Following the miniseries “The White Queen” and “The White Princess” now comes “The Spanish Princess”, which will draw from the books of Philippa Gregory, “The Constant Princess” and “The King’s Curse.”
“The Spanish Princess” will follow the story of Catherine of Aragon, who came to England to marry Arthur, Prince of Wales, the son of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. After Arthur’s sudden death, all seems lost for Catherine.
Emma Frost and Matthew Graham will serve as showrunners and executive producers. Executive producing with Frost and Graham are Colin Callender and Scott Huff from Playground and Charlie Pattinson and Charlie Hampton from All3 Media’s New Pictures. Starz’ senior vice president of original programming Karen Bailey is the executive in charge of “The Spanish Princess.”
No broadcasting date has been announced yet.
I love the idea of this show but just don’t understand why all these shows are based on Phillipa Gregory’s books. How about using real history it’s just as interesting.
