JODIE COMER TO LEAD
We're all British today, starting with the news coming from Starz who, as you know, have took over WHITE QUEEN series sequel from BBC and are doing WHITE PRINCESS second season on their own. Now they have the lead star! Jodie Comer (Doctor Foster) will lead the adaptation of Philippa Gregory's book following the War of Roses!
THE WHITE PRINCESS now follows the beautiful eldest daughter of
Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville (played by Max Irons and Rebecca
Ferguson in the original series) princess Elizabeth. She faces a
conflict of loyalties between the red rose and the white. Forced into
marriage with Henry VII, she must reconcile her slowly growing love for
him with her loyalty to the House of York, and choose between her
mother’s rebellion and her husband’s tyranny. Then she has to meet the
Pretender, whose claim denies the House of Tudor itself.
KEELEY HAWES' THE DURRELLS
ARE GETTING A SECOND SEASON!
After receiving tons of love from the British audience which await each Sunday with huge anticipation to see a new episode of ITV's THE DURRELLS series, it has been announced today that the drama will be getting a second season as well! Starring gorgeous Keeley Hawes the drama follows the Durrell family who back in 1935 decide to move from dreary Bournemouth to the sunshine of the Greek island of Corfu! It is an adaptation of Gerald Durrell's book My Family and Other Animals.
The Durrells looks like a wacky fun comedy! The trailer hooked me.
ReplyDeleteit is positively enchanting!
DeleteGreece? I'd love to visit, even vicariously.
ReplyDeletehalf of my country is spending their summers there :)
DeleteGlad to hear The Durrells are a hit! I'm hoping PBS will show it here in the fall.
ReplyDeletesomeone sure will! It is a huge hit, the biggest launch of all the new series this year in UK
DeleteI was just thinking I hope it's aired here too!
Deletehaven't heard so far, but it probably will. Esquire is currently airing ITV's BEOWULF and FX will air their HOUDINI AND DOYLE, methinks, they seem to always see it to different channels
DeleteSomething serious and something to laugh! What can we more wish!;-)

Exactly, Peter :) If I remember correctly WHITE QUEEN was shot in Belgium, maybe they do the same with WHITE PRINCESS :)
DeleteThat is right. Even a Flemish actress was involved. Veerle Baeten.
DeleteMaybe? You never know! :-D

You never know, indeed, although this will be an American production, sadly :(
DeleteIs that a dress or a coat that Ms. Comer is wearing? Whatever it is, I adore it.
ReplyDeleteminus the ugly socks :) Her stylist seems to be her worst enemy there :)
DeleteHadn't heard of the Durrell's but looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteWrote about it many times :)
DeleteThose look interesting.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely
DeleteCan I just say, I hate her stockings with those heels. Is that the new fashion? It's just ick!
ReplyDeleteit is one of those cases in which they think they will be unique but they turn out to be hilarious. Them socks cut her legs in half. But it is not her fault, it was the photoshoot.
DeleteIt looks like it might be interesting and fun.
ReplyDeletesuper fun
DeleteOMG this looks hilarious. I wonder if it will be available on Kodi?
ReplyDeleteHope somebody buys it over there, all ITV's series are a bliss to watch!
