The highly-anticipated historical drama 'The White Queen' from the BBC will be airing in the USA on Starz. Hoping to capture some of the same success of another BBC import 'Downton Abbey' over on PBS, Starz has revealed the premiere date for the first episode of the opcoming historical epic.

The series will debut on Saturday, August 10.

The 10-episode drama, based on the bestselling historical novels by Philippa Gregory, is set against the backdrop of England?s Wars of the Roses. The series stars Max Irons, Amanda Hale, James Frain, newcomers Rebecca Ferguson and Faye Marsay and Oscar nominee Janet McTeer.

Producers acquired the rights to Phillippa Gregory's book series, on which 'The White Queen' is based, back in September of 2012. This period drama is set during England's War of the Roses with former HBO Films president Colin Callender is attached to ?The White Queen? as an Executive Producer. ?The White Queen? adapts the first three novels in Gregory?s ?The Cousins War? series, an historical drama set during England?s War of the Roses. The war raged across a thirty-year span during the 1400?s between the rival houses of Lancaster and York, whose heraldic insignias were red & white roses, respectively.

The plot of the novels follows Elizabeth Woodville of the House of Lancaster, widowed after her valiant husband is slain in battle. The seduction of the reigning King (of the rival house) begins?murder and underhanded deals are sure to follow.

Check out a trailer for the series below and tune in to Starz on August 10 for the premiere!

    • New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues by Taras Buria Another bug-fixing update is available for PowerToys version 0.100. After releasing version 0.100.1 with a bunch of bug fixes and patches, Microsoft pushed version 0.100.2 to address two important issues with one of Command Palette Dock's features. With PowerToys 0.100.2, Microsoft fixed the performance meter displaying incorrect values and memory leaks, which are particularly unwanted things in the current situation with overpriced PC hardware. Here is the changelog: Reverted a Performance Monitor dock refresh change that forced item refreshes on every metric update Fixed a memory leak in the Performance Monitor dock extension by reusing stable network upload/download band items instead of creating new list items on each refresh For those unfamiliar, Command Palette Dock is a relatively new addition to PowerToys. It is a taskbar-like tool that you can keep on top of the screen to pin various useful widgets, commands, and more. It can display time, weather, your PC's performance metrics, and more. Microsoft introduced the Command Palette Dock in March 2026 in PowerToys 0.98. Microsoft has dedicated documentation for Command Palette Dock, and you can check it out on the official Microsoft Learn website. You can update PowerToys to the latest version by going to Settings > General and clicking "Check for updates." Alternatively, you can download the installer from GitHub using this link. In other news, Microsoft is working on a new window-management utility for PowerToys. Called Alt Window Cycle, it will let you use the Alt + ` shortcut to switch between different windows in a single app. You can learn more about the tool here.

      You did take leaf out of Trumps book already and had brexit - only to harm yourself. The same goes with this AI nonsense. The obvious solution for these companies is to move their head office to Brussels. I can see quite much irony there... 🙂

      Wonder if they are trying to slow down Linux traction (not saying this is the only factor) in the consumer space. With the most pressure probably being steam deck/box, etc.
