Starz has released the first teaser for Becoming Elizabeth, a new historical drama series that will explore Queen Elizabeth I’s life prior to her accession to the throne. The new series promises to discover previously undisclosed Tudor stories, such as how an orphaned youngster came to become England’s most powerful person, by concentrating on Elizabeth’s upbringing.
In the trailer, Alicia von Rittberg portrays a young Elizabeth Tudor. Mary (Romola Garai), Elizabeth’s sister, wakes her up in the middle of the night, pleading with her to leave the castle as soon as possible. The death of King Henry VIII causes confusion, resulting in the coronation of his nine-year-old son Edward (Oliver Zetterström), the legitimate male heir to the throne, prematurely.
Because Edward is clearly too young to lead a country, several noble families want to sway him so that his rule benefits them. Mary and Elizabeth, who are pushed into arranged marriages in order to keep the Tudor line alive and the country united, are also caught up in the power battle. On the other hand, Elizabeth isn’t willing to just bow down and obey, and she begins to play her own game at the Tudor court. The series is said to depict the events after the death of the monarch, ending in Elizabeth’s coronation as Queen.
Jessica Raine (The Informer, Patrick Melrose) plays Catherine Parr, King Henry’s widow; Tom Cullen (Weekend, Black Mirror) plays Thomas Seymour, who marries Catherine while keeping an eye on Elizabeth; and John Heffernan (The Pursuit of Love, The Crown) plays the Duke of Somerset, who takes over as Lord Protector after the old King dies.
Other cast members include Jamie Blackley (Greed, The Last Kingdom), Alexandra Gilbreath (Tulip Fever), Jamie Parker (1917), Leo Bill (Rare Beasts, In Fabric), Oliver Zetterström (The Midnight Gang, The Romanoffs), Bella Ramsey (Game of Thrones, The Last of Us), Ekow Quartey (This Way Up), Alex Macqueen (Sally4Ever, Peaky Blinders), and Olivier Huband.
Becoming Elizabeth was written and executive produced by Anya Reiss. Executive producers are The Forge’s George Ormond (National Treasure, Great Expectations) and George Faber (Shameless, The White Queen), with Lisa Osborne (Little Dorrit, Man in an Orange Shirt) producing.
