The most famous king of England, Henry VIII has been offered another 10 episodes from Showtime, as they've renewed their historical drama series "The Tudors" for another run.
The show stars Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers as the English king, who will return for the second run.
The new series, which debuted on the 1st of April, has been the largest series premiere for Showtime in three years, said Nielsen Media Research, drawing almost 1.3 million viewers total.
Rhys Meyers has also played in "Match Point" from Woody Allen and also co-starred in "Mission: Impossible III" with Tom Cruise.
The next season will be shot starting in the fall in Dublin.
I love this mini series about King Henry VIII. Jonathan Rhys-Meyers is absolutley fantastic in his role as are the other cast members. They make learning history incredibly interesting!!!
