Another bright spot in the writers' strike: The Tudors, the Showtime series starring Jonathan Rhys Myers as King Henry VIII, will be back to ease our reality-TV pain. Though a premiere date for the show's second season hasn't been announced, it will definitely be back in 2008.

If I had to guess, I'd put my money on early 2008, since it seems like Showtime has a lot of work done on the next season of the show already. We saw the first trailer all the way back in August, and now the network has given us a couple more videos, including one full scene from an episode coming early in the second season. The other video is a behind-the-scenes look at the series, with plenty of new glimpses of what's to come as well as Myers and new addition Peter O'Toole, who's playing Pope Paul III, talking about their characters.

To watch both of the videos, just read more.
