The Tudors begins when Henry VIII (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) is growing desperate for an heir and increasingly distant from his first wife. The series moves quickly to the period when Anne Boleyn (Natalie Dormer) became his obsession.
The world of the Vikings is brought to life through the journey of Ragnar Lothbrok, the first Viking to emerge from Norse legend and onto the pages of history – a man on the edge of myth.
