'WHITE PRINCESS' EPIC TV SERIES LAVISH CAST PHOTOS WITH JODIE COMER, JACOB COLLINS LEVY, MICHELLE FAIRLEY! 'REIGN' EPIC TV SERIES FINAL SEASON TRAILER IS HERE!

'WHITE PRINCESS' EPIC SERIES
 LAVISH CAST PHOTOS ARE HERE!
Tons of costume drama delight today, my spylings, as we have first photos and teasers for upcoming new period set TV shows! A few weeks ago I showed you the first teaser for THE WHITE PRINCESS series, a sequel to The White Queen but this time produced only by Starz without a help from BBC, and today you can feast your eyes on the lavish new cast photo shoot photos from the eight episode saga which will start its rule this April! As the photos show it will obviously have much better costumes than the first season which was largely criticised for historical inaccuracies and lack of any splendour.

YORKS VS TUDORS  
The story begins in the aftermath of the 1485 battle of Bosworth, the final conflict in England's War of the Roses, where Henry Tudor (Jacob Collins Levy) unexpectedly defeated King Richard III to become King Henry VII. Elizabeth of York (Jodie Comer), the niece and former lover of Richard, is forced to marry Henry to unite their warring families, but the two can barely contain their disdain for one another. Newly crowned Queen of England, Elizabeth finds herself torn between loyalty to her blood relatives, placating her husband and his icy mother (Michelle Fairley) and establishing herself as a key player within the court's intricate politics.

PREDOMINANTLY FEMALE CAST
Other stars in the cast include Essie Davis as Elizabeth's mother, previous queen Elizabeth, Joanne Whalley will be Duchesss of Burgundy her aunt, and sister to dead kings Richard III and Edward IV of England, with Michelle Fairley as Margaret Beaufort, the king's mother and the calculating mastermind behind Henry's ascent to the Throne, and Suki Waterhouse as Cecily of York, jealous younger sister to Princess Elizabeth! Amy Manson is going to portray Lady Catherine Gordon, cousin to King James IV of Scotland and the love interest of “The Boy” who claims to be Prince Richard of York, rightful heir to the throne and Elizabeth’s long lost brother played by Patrick Gibson! Andrew Whipp will play Richard Pole, supporter and former soldier of Henry VII, whose marriage to Elizabeth’s cousin Margaret Plantagenet (Rebecca Benson) reinforces the alliance between the Houses of York and Lancaster under Tudor rule. Kenneth Cranham is Bishop Morton and Vincent Regan is Jasper Tudor.



'REIGN' EPIC SERIES

Meanwhile, over at CW all is set for the fourth and final season of their popular historical saga REIGN which will bring Mary Queen of Scots' reign to end starting February 10th!

TRAVIS FIMMEL, CHLOE SEVIGNY JOIN 'LEAN ON PETE' ADAPTATION! BBC TO TURN 'LES MISERABLES' INTO TV SERIES! ADAM CROASDELL IS LORD BOTHWELL IN 'REIGN' EPIC SEASON 4

 TRAVIS FIMMEL JOINS
'LEAN ON PETE' ADAPTATION
While you are enjoying his role of brave warrior Anduin Lothar in record breaking WARCRAFT movie, you can expect to see Travis Fimmel in another new project: as 'Deadline' reports he and Chloe Sevigny have joined Steve Buscemi and young Charlie Plummer in LEAN ON PETE
An adaptation of Willy Vlautin’s acclaimed novel follows Charley Thompson, the itinerant teen abandoned by his mother as a baby as he embarks on a perilous journey in search of his long lost aunt and a possible home. Charley’s quest carries him from a horse racing track in Portland, through the sagebrush of the Oregon desert, to the city streets of Denver, his sole companion the stolen racehorse Lean on Pete.


 ADAM CROASDELL JOINS 
'REIGN'S EPIC SEASON 4
I've already informed you of the whole slate of new actors that are joining queen of Scots' Mary's court in the fourth season of CW's REIGN, and now the latest one is British star Adam Croasdell!  He is to play Bothwell, Queen Mary’s third husband, a warm hearted bad boy who is deeply loyal, and ultimately deeply in love with Mary Queen of Scots. I've told you before that Steve Lund will play Lord Narcisse's handsome son, and that Will Kemp will play her second husband Lord Darnley! Breezily confident, charming and warm, he was born with a blood claim of his own to the English throne and a wildly ambitious mother whose love hinges entirely on his ability to secure a crown.

 'LES MISERABLES
TO BECOME NEW BBC SERIES
Well, after the great successes of WAR AND PEACE and DICKENSIAN, it was only to be expected that BBC will venture even deeper into the world of literary classics for their new series: according to latest news, Andrew Davies (the same scribe that turned the tragic and deeply moving depth of Tolstoy's classic into an Austenian flimsy affair) will now pen a six episode mini series based on Victor Hugo's LES MISERABLES! But here's the catch = this time it will be without singing! It will, of course, follow Jean Valjean a former convict unable to escape the shadow of his past life while being pursued by his enemy, police officer Javert.
