19 Years Later, Henry Cavill’s Scandalous 4-Part Historical Drama Steams Up Streaming

Long before he became Superman, Geralt, or one of the internet’s favorite fancasts for every square-jawed British franchise role, Henry Cavill was in The Tudors,causing problems in velvet and looking extremely at home doing it, and now that series is being rediscovered all over again.

Starz is carrying the show and there’s a heck of a lot of interest in it. Presumably because of all the saucy scenes appealing to those spicy BookTok users. The series stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Henry VIII, with Cavill as Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, alongside Natalie Dormer as Anne Boleyn, Sam Neill as Cardinal Wolsey, and Maria Doyle Kennedy as Catherine of Aragon.
