| MUMBAI:
Fox History and Entertainment will telecast a new series, The Tudors, from
27 March, every Friday at 9 pm. Says
Fox History and Entertainment VP-Programming Sudha Sadhanand, “The Tudors
is about history in its most extravagant form-the drama, the costumes, and most
importantly, the times where passion, political intrigues and love took over both
the King and his kingdom. The Tudors makes history edgy, larger than life
and entertaining which is our constant intent at Fox History and Entertainment.” The
Tudors is based on the romantic and political life of King Henry the VIII. The
show stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers of Bend it like Beckham fame as King Henry
the VIII, Natalie Dormer as Anne Boleyn, who was the second wife of King Henry
the VIII. The Tudors is written by Michael Hirst, who also wrote the screenplay
for Shekhar Kapur’s movie, Elizabeth. |
