The limited series is being led by Jodie Turner-Smith (Queen & Slim, Without Remorse) as Tudor Queen Anne Boleyn, who is both an icon and an enigma; branded a witch, a sexual temptress, a calculating opportunist, and a traitor. The drama will tell her notorious story from a different perspective – hers.
“Chronicling Anne Boleyn’s infamous downfall and execution, the series reimagines the final months of the eponymous Queen’s life as she struggles to secure a future for her daughter and to challenge the powerful patriarchy closing in around her,” reads the synopsis. “Anne Boleyn depicts the key moments that cause Anne to topple, unpacking her immense strength, her fatal vulnerabilities, and her determination to be an equal among men.”
Joining Turner-Smith are Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You) as Anne’s brother and Tudor nobleman George Boleyn; Mark Stanley (Game of Thrones) as Henry VIII, one of the most famous Kings in British history; Lola Petticrew (Bloodlands) as Anne’s love rival, Jane Seymour; Barry Ward (White Lines) as King Henry VIII’s closest and most powerful advisor Thomas Cromwell; Jamael Westman (West End’s Hamilton) as Jane Seymour’s ambitious brother Edward; Amanda Burton (Silent Witness) as stoic Governess, Lady Anne Shelton; and Thalissa Teixeira (AMC+’s Ragdoll) as Anne’s loyal confidante and cousin Madge Shelton.
