Release Date of “The Spanish Princess Season 2”
As much as we would have love the drama series to continue, it will come to an end in 2020. The show was built as a 16 episode limited drama. The first eight episodes have already premiered. On 3dr June 2019, Starz ordered the remaining eight episodes to be premiered in the fall of 2020. This will conclude the show.
The Plot for the Show
The show revolves around Catherine of Aragon, the eponymous Spanish princess who became Queen of England as the first wife of King Henry VIII.
While history tells us that Prince Harry would ascend to the throne and marry Catherine himself, the series tells the story from Catherine’s point of view. It dives into the intriguing question of whether Arthur and Catherine actually consummated their marriage. Meanwhile, Lady Margaret Beaufort, the King’s mother, becomes the insidious power behind the throne and attempts to bring down Catherine, whom she sees as a threat to the Tudor dynasty. This is because she fears the dying vision of Queen Elizabeth of York that Catherine would sire no boys and leave the Tudors with no male heirs.
The first 8 episdoes of the show concluded with Harry becoming King Henry VIII, and promising to marry Catherine in spite of the schemes of Margaret Beaufort. However, Harry has his own doubts that Catherine is telling the truth about her virginity. The story of the remaing eight episode will build on this plotline.
