Who are the people behind the new Anne Boleyn series?

The series, which is aptly-titled Anne Boleyn, is written by newcomer Eve Hedderwick Turner. Faye Ward (who previously worked on The Other Boleyn Girl) and Hannah Farrell are the producers, and it will be helmed by Deadwater Fell director Lynsey Miller.

Ward and Farrell said at Edinburgh TV Festival in August: “We feel that history has side-lined the voice of this ambitious Queen in favor of the men who brought her down, and that Lynsey Miller’s beautiful, intimate vision will put Anne’s gaze at the heart of the piece.”

And Turner-Smith will be putting on Boleyn’s gable hood to tell that story.

Jodie Turner-Smith will play Anne Boleyn in a new Channel 5 series
