The First Images From Starz's 'The Serpent Queen' are Rich and Sumptuous

Cable network Starz is the period drama fan's gift that keeps on giving. The network, widely known for its love of period stories about fierce historical women, is currently airing Becoming Elizabeth, a story about the famous Tudor queen's occasionally scandalous younger years. But that's not the only female-focused historical drama it has in the works.

The first set of images from its upcoming series The Serpent Queen is here, and if they're anything to go by, the Catherine de Medici drama is going to be a sumptuous introduction to one of history's most powerful women.

(The production values of these images! I swoon!)
