Set against the iconic backdrop of the War of the Roses, the ten-hour drama series tells the story of the women caught up in the ongoing conflict for the throne.

The official synopsis reads: “The White Queen is a stunningly rich tale of love and loss, seduction and deception, betrayal and murder, vibrantly woven through the stories of three different yet equally driven women, in their quest for power as they manipulate behind the scenes of history – Elizabeth Woodville, Margaret Beaufort and Anne Neville.”
