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 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, playful and funny whilst being hotheaded, ambitious and possibly
dangerous
– he expects the spoils that ought naturally to fall to the
King’s uncle! Romola Garai stars as Mary, Oliver Zetterström as Edward, Jessica
Raine as Catherine Parr, John Heffernan as Duke of Somerset, Jamie Parker as John Dudley, Jamie Blackley as Robert Dudley, Jacob Avery as
Guildford Dudley, Alexandra Gilbreath as Kat Ashley, Leo Bill as Henry Grey, Bella Ramsey as Jane Grey, Ekow Quartey as Pedro, Alex Macqueen as Stephen Gardiner, and Olivier Huband as Ambassador Guzman. Anya
Reiss is the creator and executive producer of the show. Check out the trailer below and tell us what you think.





WHAT DID THE SPY THINK?
Dull!
Dull is the word to describe this ghastly monotonous affair of a
series. Dull casting with dull uninspired lead actress with zero
charisma and a dull voice and looks set in dull costumes and sets to
which the dull art production and lighting give no shine nor splendour
leaving them even more dull. From dull writing and direction, the
dullness never ceases to leave this wretched show that does not deserve
any of your attention.
