Call it a new spin on an old story.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The three-part period drama \u201cAnne Boleyn,\u201d premiering on AMC+<\/a> on Thursday (Dec. 9), showcases the famous doomed Queen\u2019s story in a different way \u2014 with Jodie Turner-Smith, (\u201cQueen and Slim\u201d), a British actress of Jamaican descent, in the lead role.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to make sure the world of our Tudor court didn\u2019t look exactly like period dramas that we\u2019d seen in the past,\u201d series<\/a> writer Eve Hedderwick Turner told The Post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause it is such a well-known period of history and Anne\u2019s story itself has been really well covered, we wanted to make sure that it felt fresh and alive and different. And also, reflective of our society today \u2014 so that hopefully we would attract new audiences who maybe didn\u2019t see relevance in watching a story like this previously.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Unlike other historical dramas about similar subject matter \u2014 such as Showtime\u2019s \u201cThe Tudors\u201d (starring Natalie Dormer as Anne) or BBC\u2019s \u201cWolf Hall,\u201d (with Claire Foy in the role) which both take holistic app<\/a>roaches to the time period \u2014 \u201cAnne Boleyn\u201d takes a closer focus on the Queen.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The show begins when she\u2019s already in power, just a few months before she was put on trial for adultery and incest and beheaded in 1536.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOut of so many interesting figures in the period, she\u2019s always one that has sort of stuck out,\u201d said Turner. \u201cTypically, her story is characterized by quite a male gaze. And we have a sort of crude way of remembering the wives, which basically just lists them off as \u2018beheaded, divorced, died.\u2019 They\u2019re usually reduced to a number, a very limited way of thinking about them. T<\/p>\n

\u201cThis felt like an exciting opportunity to get under the skin of who Anne was as a woman, and as a fully fleshed out character in her own right \u2013\u00a0 not a supporting character in the story of Henry VIII or [Thomas] Cromwell. And so, I just really wanted to make sure the story followed her experience of the events, so that we feel quite connected to Anne throughout, and experienced things alongside her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Turner said that she purposefully stayed away from other versions of the story.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did read Phillipa Gregory novels and stuff when I was in school. But when I took on this project, I didn\u2019t want to feel too influenced by other retellings, or lean on their interpretations of events. I\u2019m looking forward to watching \u2018Wolf Hall.\u2019 I\u2019m excited about going back and having a look at those [other versions of the story], now that I\u2019ve got mine out of my system.\u201d<\/p>\n

The three episodes, which also aired on Channel 5 in the UK, play out like a psychological thriller as the walls close in around Anne.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I realized that there were these five months that passed between her being the most powerful woman in England, to being ripped down and inevitably murdered by her husband and other powerful figures at court, that felt like a really clear, intense, sort of claustrophobic spiraling story,\u201d said Turner.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we were also having lots of discussions about bringing this element of thriller to the story. With that in mind, I thought that short condensed time frame was well suited to the tone that we were after.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
