Starz has greenlit the series Becoming Elizabeth, created and written by playwright and television screenwriter Anya Reiss (Spur of the Moment, The Acid Test) who will executive produce with The Forge’s George Ormond (National Treasure, Great Expectations) and George Faber (Shameless, Generation Kill).

Reiss will serve as lead writer on the 8-episode season and be joined by an all-female writing team including Emily Ballou (Traitors, Taboo, Humans), Anna Jordan (Succession) and Suhayla El- Bushra (Ackley Bridge, Hollyoaks).

“The world of Becoming Elizabeth is visceral and dangerous – judgments are rendered quickly and no one is safe,” said Starz CEO Jeffrey A. Hirsch. “This series explores the Tudor Reign and young Elizabeth, who would become England’s Gloriana and one of history’s most dynamic figures, through a new lens which we think viewers will find highly engaging.”

Becoming Elizabeth is the fascinating story of the early life of England’s most iconic Queen. Long before she ascended the throne, young Elizabeth Tudor was an orphaned teenager who became embroiled in the political and sexual politics of the English court. With no clear heir, the death of King Henry the VIII sets into motion a dangerous scramble for power. His surviving children find themselves pawns in a game between the great families of England and the powers of Europe who vie for control of the country.

Senior Vice President of Original Programming Karen Bailey is the Starz executive in charge of Becoming Elizabeth.
