Meet The Cast Of Netflix's Racy New Docu-Drama Series, Blood Sex And Royalty
The Netflix original series Blood, Sex & Royalty offers viewers a modern take on the British monarchy, offering a glimpse into the lives of history's deadliest, sexiest, and most iconic monarchs.In a similar manner to The Crown, which recently released its fifth season, Blood, Sex & Royalty follows Anne Boleyn, King Henry VIII's second of six wives.

There is even a chilling tale of Anne Boleyn's 'headless' ghost that haunts her place of birth.Blood, Sex & Royalty combines historians' knowledge with steamy scripted drama, offering a glimpse into the lives of the Tudor monarchs and the noble house of Boleyn. The first season of Blood, Sex & Royalty only has three episodes, and there’s no telling if more will be added or if the series will get a second season.
