A ten-part series of one-hour episodes, "The Tudors" tells the incredible tale of the young, powerful, seductive King Henry VIII, focusing on the tumultuous early years of the ambitious King's nearly 40-year reign of England. Bold and passionate about his country and his women, Henry's obsession with ensuring his legacy led to beheadings of friend and foe, waging war, and challenging the almighty Catholic Church of England, forever changing the soul of the British Empire.

"The Tudors" stars Golden Globe® Award-winning actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers ("Match Point," "Elvis," "Bend It Like Beckham") as the young, sexy and ruthless King Henry VIII; Emmy® and Golden Globe Award nominated Sam Neill ("Jurassic Park," "Merlin," "Little Fish") as Cardinal Thomas Wolsey -- a minister who possessed great power until he failed his King; Henry Czerny ("Mission Impossible," "Clear and Present Danger") as The Duke of Norfolk who learned that the only thing that mattered was winning and keeping the favor of the King; Jeremy Northam (CBS' "Martin & Lewis," "Gosford Park," "The Net") as Sir Thomas More -- a man whose principles sent him to the chopping block; Gabrielle Anwar ("Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead," "Scent of A Woman") as Princess Margaret, Henry's spoiled sister who was married off to become Queen of Scotland; and Natalie Dormer ("Casanova") as the infamous Anne Boleyn, the first of Henry's wives to be beheaded.

"The Tudors" was created and written by Michael Hirst, whose work includes the Academy Award-winning "Elizabeth." The series completed principal photography on location in Ireland in October. Michael Hirst, Ben Silverman of Reveille, Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner of Working Title are the executive producers of "The Tudors," with Gary Howsam of Peace Arch Entertainment Group and Morgan O'Sullivan of World 2000 producing.
