Travel Back in Time with The Tudors on Satellite TV

Premium movie channels are doing so much more now than showcasing current movie releases. They're featuring cutting-edge drama and comedy television series that are enticing viewers to subscribe to channels like HBO, Starz, and Showtime. These premium movie channels are available at a low monthly cost with a satellite TV subscription. Now, you can tune into one of Showtime's most phenomenal dramas, The Tudors, which is currently in its fourth season.

The Tudors, showing now on satellite TV, is a period piece about the life and wives of Henry VIII. At its premiere, the show focused on Henry's difficulty with international conflicts as well as the stress placed on him to father a male heir to the throne. It also highlighted his relationship with his first wife Katherine of Aragon as well as introduced Anne Boleyn. During the second season on satellite TV, Henry became the head of the Church of England and fought with Rome, all the while hiding his affair with the pregnant Anne Boleyn before divorcing Katherine.

In the second season of The Tudors on satellite TV, Anne Boleyn failed to produce a male heir for Henry and he therefore began to focus on Jane Seymour. Continuing in the third season was his relationship with Jane and then Anne of Cleves, who finally produced a male heir. The fourth season, showing now on Showtime and satellite TV, will showcase his last two marriages as well as his descent into madness.

Jonathan Ryhs Meyer stars in the Tudors, now on satellite TV, as Henry VIII. He is most famous for his roles in Bend It Like Beckham, Match Point, and his portrayal as Elvis Presley in the biographical miniseries, Elvis, for which he won a Golden Globe. Also featured on the show is musician Joss Stone who plays Anne of Cleves, Tamzin Merchant known for her role as Georgiana Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, and Joely Richardson who played Anita Campbell-Brown in 101 Dalmations and Julie McNamara in Nip/Tuck.

In addition to premium movie channels that show series like The Tudors, satellite TV offers its subscribers other programming opportunities that aren't available with other television services.
