Wait, wait, wait… I’m really not sure whether it’s good news or a bad one … hahahha. But it’s explicitly sure that Joss Stone would not have any sex scenes on ‘The Tudors’ upcoming episodes. Joss Stone is playing Anne of Cleves, Henry VIII’s (Jonathan Rhys Meyer) fourth wife in the steamy US drama. She herself confirmed it saying “There’s no sex and that is a good thing. Thank God. I’d be very shy and very embarrassed about the whole thing to be honest – and quite nervous”.

Well, it may have shattered away the plans of those who’re expecting some more love making scenes of Henry VIII’ and his new love interest.

‘The Tudors’ has finished its second season and as of now, we’re expecting a third season of the show. No dates are confirmed by the network yet but we hope to get it soon as hope sustains life! Most probably, we’ll get the third season of ‘The Tudors’ in early April. Second season finale was entitled ‘Episode 2-10’ and was aired on June 1, 2008. Okay, let’s have a little review of the episode.

We saw that Queen Anne is still behind bars in ‘The Tower’ and the only thing which she was waiting for is her execution. She wished to be executed by a special executioner and the king granted her wish to do so. The executioner failed to reach at the appointed time and it resulted in the postponement of execution. On the other hand, Henry visited Jane Seymour and proposed her for marriage. It’s also confirmed that Henry’s previous marriage to Anne had been proved null and void. Second season ended with Queen Anne’s decapitation.

Next in ‘The Tudors’ is the third season of the show. Well, I’ve set my sights on the upcoming episodes of the series and waiting eagerly for them. But, it’s really not fair not to add sex scenes of Anne of Cleves… what do you say?

I just love this royal drama, and this news made me more curious for the third season. The third season is bringing with lot many pleasant surprises for its fans. It is already reported that Grammy Winner singer Joss Stone is coming in the role of Henry VII’s fourth wife Anne of Cleves. She will appear in at least three episodes out of total eight in the third season.

The latest buzz is it’s time to welcome another bright star on our favorite show. This is Swedish film actor Max Von Sydow. He has got cool looks and will perfectly suit the role of a royal deity. He’s gonna appear in four episodes, unlike Joss. He will play Cardinal Von Waldburg.

Cardinal is a German- born Catholic Clergyman, who tries to make sure the defeat of Henry VII (Jonathan Rhys Meyers). His family is killed by protestant revolutionaries. He can be also described as s fearsome intellectual, in fact he is appointed by the Pope to head their first interrogation, which was the crushing of the Reformation.

Let’s see with the new cast this season what new color is being added. To be very honest I watch this series just because of Jonathan Rhys Meyers. I like his acting, his role, his face expressions, his personality and what not? In real life too he’s a pretty open-minded and outspoken personality, what I like the most about him.

Recently, I read his interview with buddy TV. He opined about the real life royals. He says people should be sympathetic towards royal members. Nonetheless Royal members too should keep in mind that they are demigod for people, because they are royals and not the ordinary ones. He gave instance of Prince Harry, who loves to hang out in night clubs until morning like other youngsters of his age and that makes news. Because he’s born in royal family, he’s not allowed to do so, that’s why people should have a little sympathy for them.

I am desperately waiting to watch this wonderful man once again. Nonetheless, we can watch him in movies like ‘Shelter’ and ‘Mandrake’ in 2009. Still, he’ll be never as charming to me ever again as in “The Tudors”.

Fans have all loved the show. Completely in love with the way the story has been written and the well knitted plot has attracted the viewers most. Though the series out looks on a lot of historical details, and the king is shown too young and that his costumes are all wrong. Still the show is doing well, as it is entertaining and has been produced fantastically. All in all the star cast of the show is also one big factor for the success of the show. And anyways as the sole purpose of television is entertainment and the series has definitely been able to glue its viewers. And the minute details are definitely not affecting the viewers in any big way.

But the details are definitely bothering the critics, a bit too much. They are of the view that the series is not living up to the expectations of a historical series and production team is some what playing with the facts. They are also of the view that the whole serious theme of that era has ended being a simple personal and erotic power. But as all is in the hands of the viewers, and the audience is liking the show, and the series is doing well for every one.

On 26 August, 2008 it was announced by The Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television that the Company’s television series was honored with twelve nominations.

The series has also been credited with two Emmy Award nominations in July 2008. The first season of the series also fished four Emmy Awards.
