Channel 5 has released a new teaser trailer for
Anne Boleyn, a three-part psychological thriller starring actress Jodie Turner-Smith as the infamous Tudor Queen a casting choice that will probably be the most interesting thing about this series. The three-parter will detail the final months of Boleyn’s life from her perspective, according to
Variety, “as she struggles to secure a future for her daughter and challenge the powerful patriarchy closing in around her.” Not a story we haven’t seen told before, but it raises the question: Why are we culturally so obsessed with Anne Boleyn?
