Will there be another series of The Spanish Princess?

There is good news for fans of The Spanish Princess on Starz and Starzplay.

The historical drama series about Catherine of Aragon has been given the green light for a second season.

The news was officially announced at the beginning of June 2019.

Showrunners Emma Frost and Matthew Graham said in a statement: “We are thrilled to tell the next chapter of Catherine of Aragon’s story as she negotiates war, politics and marriage to the most dangerous King of England.

“As a company that always produces compelling and dynamic projects, Starz has been a great creative partner and we look forward to concluding Catherine’s journey with them.”

COO Jeffrey Hirsch added, “Emma and Matthew have created an alluring portrait of one of the most familiar narratives in English history.

“Viewers are intrigued by Catherine of Aragon’s story and this eight-episode conclusion will give us the opportunity to tell it in its entirety.”

HOW TO WATCH THE SPANISH PRINCESS ONLINE

There will eight episodes in the brand new series, each an hour long in length.

An official release date has not yet been confirmed but the new series will definitely arrive at some point next year.

The first season premiered on Sunday, May 5 so season two is likely to air around the same time in 2020.

The Spanish Princess is the third in a trilogy series that allowed The White Queen and The White Princess.

The Spanish Princess is the only one of the three to be given an additional series.

Originally, the show about the early years of Catherine of Aragon and her arrival at Tudor court was supposed to a limited series, so it is surprising that the show was extended.

History enthusiasts will know that Catherine did go on to become the first wife of Henry VIII.

Therefore, season two is likely to follow their marriage and perhaps, Catherine’s downfall.
