Fight like a woman.
Synopsis
The Spanish Princess (2019), Season 1 is the Starz period drama you can watch online on iFILM — eight episodes about young Catherine of Aragon, raised her whole life to wear the English crown.
She steps off the boat onto a rain-soaked shore, sixteen and sure of herself, her vivid Spanish court in tow, ready to marry Prince Arthur and bind two great powers together. Then Arthur dies, and the throne she was promised slips out of reach almost overnight. What follows is the most stubborn gamble of her life: Catherine sets her sights on the dead prince's younger brother, the future Henry VIII, and refuses to let go even as the court, her own family and plain bad luck conspire against her. The season runs on her will alone — through a "polite kidnapping" by her unstable sister to the point where the Spanish princess is barely recognizable as herself.
Charlotte Hope plays her hard, less blushing bride than a player counting moves. Emma Frost and Matthew Graham, the team behind The White Queen, retell court drama from the woman's side of the table. One for Tudor fans tired of passive heroines in corsets. Stream The Spanish Princess Season 1 online on iFILM.
