Here’s a hot one: British model and Queen & Slim actress Jodie Turner-Smith is to play Anne Boleyn in a convention-defying Channel 5 drama made by the Sony-backed Stan & Ollie producer Fable Pictures.

Deadline can reveal that the ViacomCBS-owned broadcaster has commissioned a three-part series that will examine the downfall of Boleyn through the prism of a psychological thriller rather than a stuffy period drama retreading the demise of King Henry VIII’s second wife.

Penned by newcomer Eve Hedderwick Turner, the drama shines a feminist light on the final months of Boleyn’s life, re-imagining her struggle with Tudor England’s patriarchal society, her desire to secure a future for her daughter, Elizabeth, and the brutal reality of her failure to provide Henry with a male heir.

So when can I expect to see Kristen Bell playing the part of Harriet Tubman?

Nope.

It's gonna be a country musical in the same vein as The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.

You kid, but I think you should explore that thought a little more. You may be on to something.

False. I don’t care for musicals, particularly stunt-castes ones.

Is this like Hamilton, or is supposed to be historically accurate like that Ridley Scott Exodus film?

In fairness, Henry VIII was smaller and fit when he was younger.

This is the telling part of this. A mousy little liberal white girl has to put a black face on revisionist feminist bullshite.

The ones praising this are probably the ones so pissed off that Gadot was cast as cleopatra

I get what you're saying, but we would need a lot of that type of casting to even start to catch up.
