BREAKING NEWS: STARZ RELEASES FIRST IMAGES FROM BECOMING ELIZABETH EPIC TV SERIES WITH TOM CULLEN, ALICIA VON RITTERBERG! SEE MYSTERIOUSLY GORGEOUS RINGS OF POWER EPIC TV SERIES CHARACTER POSTERS! STAR TREK STRANGE NEW WORLDS GETS AIR DATE AND POSTER!

 BECOMING ELIZABETH 
BEHOLD THE FUTURE QUEEN!
We usually don't have anything to watch in summer, but this year Starz will fill it for us with their new epic TV series BECOMING ELIZABETH and they are celebrating it with first cast photos including Alicia von Rittberg as the future queen and Tom Cullen as lord Seymour.
 BECOMING ELIZABETH SAGA
 is the fascinating, untold story of the early life of England’s most iconic Queen. Long before she ascended the throne, young Elizabeth Tudor was an orphaned teenager who became embroiled in the political and sexual politics

of the English court. The death of King Henry VIII sets into motion a dangerous scramble for power. His surviving children find themselves pawns in a game between the great families of England and the powers of Europe who vie for control of the country. The world of BECOMING ELIZABETH
Tom Cullen takes the lead male role of Thomas Seymour
is visceral, dangerous, and very bloody; a time in which every man or woman of the court is on the wheel of fortune, which may take them to a position of great power one moment, or the executioner’s block the next. Judgements are rendered quickly, and no one is safe.

 WHO IS AT THE COURT?
Alicia von Rittberg plays Elizabeth I, a teenager who thinks she is an adult and old enough to play the games that she is thrown into after the death of her father. Tom Cullen plays Thomas Seymour, simultaneously charming,

 THE RINGS OF POWER 
CHARACTER POSTERS ARE HERE!
And since this will obviously be a day of massive epic treats, check out the mysterious (as in they don't really reveal the characters) and gorgeous character posters for LORD OF THE RINGS prequel television series THE RINGS OF POWER which will arrive to Amazon Prime with its first eight episode season September 2nd! The cast of the series inspired by Tolkien's work is massive and so is the number of these brand new posters. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness. Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone! The cast led by Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Robert Aramayo, Owain Arthur, Maxim Baldry, Nazanin Boniadi, and Morfydd Clark as young Elven queen Galadriel will also include Ismael Cruz Córdova, Charles Edwards, Trystan Gravelle, Sir Lenny Henry, Ema Horvath, Markella Kavenagh, Joseph Mawle, Tyroe Muhafidin, Sophia Nomvete, Lloyd Owen, Megan Richards, Dylan Smith, Charlie Vickers, Leon Wadham, Benjamin Walker, Daniel Weyman, and Sara Zwangobani. The shooting of the second season has already been granted over at Amazon.

 STRANGE NEW WORLDS 
STAR TREK GETS AIRING DATE
New series arrives this May!
New STAR TREK series STRANGE NEW WORLDS has got a launch date of May 5th over at Paramount + and the first poster! It is interesting that the series has already been renewed for a second season. It will follow episodic adventures of the Enterprise’s original crew long before James T. Kirk was captain. Anson Mount, Rebecca Romjin, and Ethan Peck will be returning as Captain Pike, Number One, and Spock Celia Rose Gooding will play Uhura, Babs Olasanmokun will play Dr. M’Benga, and Jess Bush will play Christine Chapel; new characters on the bridge include Christina Chong as La'an Noonien-Singh, Melissa Navia as Erica Ortegas, and Bruce Horak as Hemmer. With other

series in the franchise, Discovery and Picard proving a disappointment with the fans, the audience is having high hopes for this one which will have episodic stories rather than having a seasonal plot. That is something that we haven't seen in 17 years ever since Enterprise finished.

  2. I've never watched and don't plan to ever watch a Star Trek. That being said, Becoming Elizabeth is sounding better and better! Hopefully they don't literally kill each other for the throne..

    3. They do, at night, in bed... incest is very trendy in those circles.... Day is for murder and kill thy loved ones.

  3. so, they are going for the old gossip of Elizabeth having her thing with her stepfather. iT's not the first time, Dame Jean Simmons and Stewart Granger played them as a romantic duo in Young Bess. I love the story, I loved Alicia since I saw her in Charité and Tom Cullen impressed me in the Gunpowder Plot. Looking forward to this one.

    1. I do ever so love me Cullen, have you seen his gay movie The Weekend, he was brilliant in it. He was good in Knightfall too even though that show was atrocious.

    2. I've only seen Tommy in period pieces: Gunpowder, Downton and ...nooooo! don't remind me! I get an allergic rash everytime I hear Knightfall. What a repugnant show!

    3. It has such unlikeable characters that I celebrated when they butchered the adultress queen and whipped our knight LOL Poor king Ed Stoppard, to deserve such wife and best friend... not to mention the psychotic son and sluttish daughter.
      Tom was very cute in The Weekend, as he was very young back then and delicious.

  4. While I don't plan on watching it, the posters really are lovely. My bestie will definitely tune into Becoming Elizabeth. That's more her jam to follow royals, but I may catch it later if I hear good buzz.

    1. I hope it will not be disappointing because I need me a period drama fix. I do really like so far Gilded Age even Cynthia Nixon is lovely in it however disgusting that sounds coming from my mouth LOOOOL It is beautiful and very glitzy and tidy. However, I'm not liking the second season of Witcher so far, what an uter borefest that is. I've only liked the first episode so far, with Nivelen. I'm also watching Apple's Invasion series, and while I'm sticking with it, it is so slow I feel my ovaries will dry off while it finishes.

    2. I feel like I've been shot into a faraway fantasy realm hearing you say that about Nixon LOL. I'm glad it's not disappointing you so far. That's too bad about Witcher! Hopefully it picks up momentum again. Nothing worse than a full season that's a snoozefest.

    3. I;m not optimistic, just watched episode 5 and it was the worst so far.

  5. I might have to sign up for Paramount at some point because they seem to have a few shows that I would like. I love the Star Trek franchise.

    1. They ruined it totally with previous two series, but this one might save the day as I like the two leads and episodic approach.

    1. They did lose a lot of them with the previous two series which were very bad.
