I think we saw Jodie the first day and just went, “Please don’t go anywhere. She’d broken out with Doctor Foster, and she’d just done the BBC drama Thirteen and played the lead and carried the lead phenomenally for somebody so young. She was already a huge rising star in the UK. What stood out to you the most about Jodie Comer? What made you want to cast her as Elizabeth of York?Įmma Frost: Honestly, Jodie was a no-brainer. I’d say there’s 2 or 3 changes, but again, I hope that means people who read and love the book also have some surprises in the show and there’s some freshness, too.

There are a couple of other changes to do with my own filter of what I believe makes the best TV show, especially for a 21st century audience and female 21st century audience. Instead, I have to have scenes of people in conflict and talking to each other and doing various things. In doing that, change occurs, because it’s no longer Lizzie thinking things for a chapter. So by definition, my job is to find a way to externalize that. Much of the book is what she thinks, what she feels, and for a TV show, you can’t know what’s inside the character’s head. Philippa writes her books from a single first-person point of view, so The White Princess is written in the voice of Lizzie. It’s about the politics, the machinations, the manipulations.Īre there going to be big changes from book to screen?Įmma Frost: I think that would depend on the individual person watching it whether they think it’s big or small. As a sort of shorthand, The White Queen is almost like a period 24, and The White Princess is like a period The West Wing.
The White Princess goes much deeper into the psychology and into the emotions. It’s much more this happened and then this happened. I think with The White Queen I used 3 of Philippa Gregory’s novels, and I think The White Queen is much more about events. We have a different cast, which is largely due to the fact that everyone in The White Queen is dead because we killed them on the screen. We continue the actual narrative from The White Queen, so with The White Princess, we pick up only 3 days after The White Queen ended with the Battle of Bosworth and King Henry has come to the throne. How will The White Princess be different from The White Queen?Įmma Frost: Hopefully, they are essentially of the same stable in terms of their female-driven stories in history.
