The series will, however, remain available for Starz to schedule on its channels and services.
The White Queen was originally commissioned by the BBC with Starz boarding in May 2013. It aired in the U.S. in August of that year and scored Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for best miniseries. It’s based on three historical novels from Philippa Gregory’s The Cousins War series: The White Queen, The Red Queen and The Kingmaker’s Daughter. Max Irons, Rebecca Ferguson, Amanda Hale, James Frain and Janet McTeer star. Colin Callender is executive producer.
