Reading The Other Boleyn Girl for the Buzz Book Club last month has gotten me thinking more about Showtime's The Tudors. The show, which stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers as a young, handsome King Henry VIII, starts its second season March 30 — but you don't have to wait. In fact, you can watch the season premiere of The Tudors right here, right now.
The second season picks up at a particularly key time in the story: Henry is struggling against the Catholic Church to get his marriage to Queen Katherine annulled, and at Anne's insistence, the Queen is to be banished from court. Having been so absorbed in the book's take on this turn of events, I'm curious to see how the show tackles the same part of the story.
Luckily, I don't have to wait — and neither do you. To check out the first episode of the season, just read more.

1I was so excited to come across this on iTunes! wee!
2i still need to catch season 1 since i missed it last year. i love him and i'm so glad that the show is back on for another season!
3fleurfairy — Showtime released the premiere early to several different sites.
4Wow. Thanks, Buzz! I can't wait to watch. I just finished watching Season I and am so hooked. By the way, The Other Boleyn Girl was a perfect first choice for the Book Club.
5I saw this yesterday and was just so sad for Catherine
I spent a weekend renting Season 1 and
got another friend hooked too.
6Thanks, Buzz. Although it kind of feels like peeking at your presents before Christmas so I'll wait until the 30th to see it on Showtime
7I've never been interested in this show until I read The Other Boleyn Girl, and now I'm so sad I don't get Showtime! My parents have it and Showtime on Demand so maybe I can get caught up or rent it sometime. Question though - is this based on the book too? Because parts of it seemed so like it that couldn't have possibly been based on other accounts because they're so random, like Anne getting pissed the queen makes his shirts still, I can't imagine they got that from a history book.
8hate living in mexico... i can't watch it!!!!!
