The Tudor Revival: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Patriarchy, and Profit Ava Pickett's new HBO BBC drama series 1536 is generating buzz for its bold take on the reign of Henry VIII.
But instead of focusing on the monarch himself, this six episode series will explore the lives of working class women living on the fringes of the kingdom during a tumultuous period in English history.
Pickett's drama has its roots in her critically acclaimed play of the same name, which premiered in London's West End earlier this year.
