“Henry VIII had six wives. One survived.”
DramaHistoryThriller
Katherine Parr, the sixth wife of King Henry VIII, is named regent while the tyrant battles abroad. When the king returns, increasingly ill and paranoid, Katherine finds herself fighting for her own survival.
VIBE
This is a suffocating deep-dive into courtly paranoia and the relentless pressure of a woman fighting for her very existence. It's a tense, dread-soaked experience, steeped in historical weight and psychological intensity, where every interaction feels like a matter of life or death.
