Watch the First Teaser for Jodie Turner-Smith's 'Anne Boleyn'
The first teaser clip for the buzzy, controversial new Channel 5 series Anne Boleyn is here, starring actress Jodie Turner-Smith as the doomed English queen.
The three-part series aims to re-examine the final months of the infamous queen's life as a sort of period psychological thriller, as Anne struggles to save herself from certain death at the hands of a man who once loved her, secure a future for her daughter, Princess Elizabeth, and push back against the patriarchal society of Tudor England.
Anne Boleyn has long been a fascinating figure in history and pop culture, thanks to her love affair with King Henry VIII and the tragedy surrounding her death. But Anne was also a woman ahead of her time in may ways, with an avid love of learning and a dedicated zeal for religious reform that helped bring the Protestant faith to power in England.
