Starring relative newcomer Rebecca Ferguson (famous in her native Sweden for ‘Nya tider’) and Max Irons (‘The Runaway’), the story is based on ‘The Cousins' War’ a series of novels by Philippa Gregory and tells the story of three women involved in the fight for the throne during the War of the Roses. Ferguson plays the eponymous White Queen, Elizabeth Woodville, a commoner and widow who married Edward IV, played by Irons. Also featured heavily in the story are Elizabeth’s mother, Jacquetta (Janet McTeer, ‘Parade’s End’) and Margaret Beaufort (Amanda Hale, ‘The Crimson Petal and the White’) , the mother of Henry Tudor, battling to see her son take the throne.
The cast also includes James Frain (‘True Blood’), David Oakes (‘The Borgias’), Aneurin Barnard (‘We’ll Take Manhattan’), Juliet Aubrey (‘Primeval’) and Freya Mavor (‘Skins’). Recent guest star announcements include Andrew Gower (‘Being Human’) as Lord Strange and Michael Marcus, a recent graduate of Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, as Henry Tudor.
We don't have official air dates yet, however we understand it will air in the UK on BBC One in the Spring, and on Starz in the USA in Fall.
