Cast Announced for New Starz Period Drama 'The Spanish Princess'

Women rule, especially when it comes to Starz’s upcoming new period drama The Spanish Princess.

The series kicked off production last week, followed by an announcement of its major cast and a sincere vow that women will be involved at every stage of the series’ production.

Emma Frost – who helmed previous Phillipa Gregory-based sagas The White Queen and The White Princess – is back as showrunner and executive producer, once again alongside Life on Mars’ Matthew Graham. But that’s that not all. The entire series will also be helmed by female directors. (Since this anthology has turned so strongly on the female perspective of history, this is a particularly exciting development.)
