The three-part psychological thriller looks at the final months of Anne Boleyn's life from her perspective, exploring her struggle to secure a future for her daughter and "to challenge the powerful patriarchy closing in around her".
White House Farm's Mark Stanley appears opposite Turner-Smith as Henry VIII, while I May Destroy You star Paapa Essidu plays Anne's brother George and Bloodlands's Lola Petticrew portrays Anne's love rival Jane Seymour.
Rounding out the cast are White Lines's Barry Ward (Thomas Cromwell), Hamilton's Jamael Westman (Edward Seymour), Silent Witness's Amanda Burton (Lady Anne Shelton) and Trigonometry's Thalissa Teixeira (Madge Shelton).
