On May 5, the new Starz period piece drama The Spanish Princess will debut at 8 PM.
Show Synopsis: This series is set in 16th century London, focusing on Catherine of Aragon (Charlotte Hope from Game of Thrones), the strong-willed young Princess of Spain, who has been promised the English throne since she was a child.
She arrives in a grey, rain-lashed England with her glorious and diverse court including her ladies-in-waiting Lina – a Spanish noble of African Iberian descent – and the sweet and free-spirited Rosa. When her husband Prince Arthur dies suddenly, the throne seems lost to Catherine until she devises an audacious plan and sets her sights on the new heir, the charismatic and headstrong Prince Harry (Ruairi O’Connor) who will one day rule as King Henry VIII.
The cast includes Elliot Cowan (Lost in Austen), Dame Harriet Walter (Downton Abbey and Sense and Sensibilities), Georgie Henley (Chronicles of Narnia franchise) and Laura Carmichael (Downton Abbey) [among others].
