God save the Queen! ITV renewed their splashy - and super successful - period drama Victoria for a second season.

The show tells the story of the beginning of Queen Victoria's reign – from her ascension to the throne in 1837 through her courtship and marriage to Prince Albert. Doctor Who alum Jenna Coleman stars as the young queen, opposite a strong ensemble cast that includes Tom Hughes as Prince Albert, Rufus Sewell as Victoria's first Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne, and many more familiar faces.

Daisy Goodwin created, written and executive produced the series, and will be writing Season 2, with an eye to a Fall 2017 premiere in the UK.
