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!

      Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 Good grief, Apple hasn't even released a first folding phone and the Apple faithful is already obsessing over the sequel? Seriously people, go out and touch grass... because this level of obsession is borderline stalkery/neurotic.

      Brave Browser 1.91.178 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.178 changelog: Fixed certain extensions not working as expected. (#56271) Fixed inability to use Brave Sync in certain cases. (#55203) Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.196.
