Charting the life of Isabella I of Castile, one of the most important women in Spain’s history, Isabel follows her passionate story from childhood to being crowned Queen. From her political struggles within King Henry IV’s court to her wedding to Ferdinand of Aragon, the drama encapsulates the passions, emotions and sacrifices of a woman who refused to just be a figurehead and whose outlook was ahead of her time.

James Hunt, Channel Director of Sky Arts commented: “Whether it’s from France, Israel, Italy, Portugal or Spain, I’m proud that Sky Arts has been not only at the forefront of championing drama from continental Europe and beyond, but also that we offer Sky Arts customers a wider range of drama genres than any other channel. From period, romantic, crime and comedy there are so many great foreign dramas out there and, with the welcome returns of Hard and Grand Hotel, and the addition of Spain’s most ambitious historical drama in Isabel, Sky Arts really is the home of award-winning foreign drama this autumn.”
