Apparently it’s official now!
From Variety:
Showtime is firming up plans for 2008, giving an early renewal to just-launched drama “The Tudors” and greenlighting production on a new Tracey Ullman skein.
…Second season will document the marriage of Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn, the birth of daughter Elizabeth, the Reformation and (spoiler alert!) the beheading of Boleyn. Jonathan Rhys Meyers will return as star of the skein.
Oh, that’s exciting!
I thought this was just a mini-series. I hadn’t realized they were considering picking it up.
I guess that’s why the events described here are events I would have expected to be in this season.
Man, they can go on for a lot of seasons before they run out of Tudor history. And all of it the makings of some good television.
Is JRM going to have to wear a fat suit? Henry was already a tad “piggy” by the time his relationship with Anne soured. Piggy with an ulcerated stinky leg.
Okay, that wasn’t nice, but I have a feeling Henry will stay “virile” all through the series. I wonder…
Yeah, I doubt they’d let Jonathan get too ugly… it’s what is pulling in the female viewers.
Well, me anyway. xD
