'Becoming Elizabeth': Starz Period Drama Casts Its Tudor Princess
German actress Alicia Von Rittberg has been cast to play the famous Tudor princess in the upcoming Starz period drama Becoming Elizabeth.
The eight-episode series will focus on a time period that isn't often covered in onscreen adaptations of Elizabeth I's life: Her youth.
To be fair, this isn't a time period that's covered often in onscreen adaptations of her life, largely because the scheming political and likely sexual intrigue she engaged in is such a stark contrast to the fated "Gloriana" image of her later reign.
