German actor Alicia von Rietberg will play Queen Elizabeth I in the TV series "Becoming Elizabeth", which tells the story of a British queen from an orphaned teenager to navigating a Tudor court.
Becoming Elizabeth would aim for the life of a monarch that everyone is intimately familiar with, Queen Elizabeth I of England.
Becoming Elizabeth aims to tell the story of the famous queen from a new angle: by focusing on what is often overlooked
She was the daughter of King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. Elizabeth saw her mother beheaded when she was only two years old. Although her parents' marriage was annulled and declared illegitimate, Elizabeth spent much of her childhood alternating receptions and exiles from court, living in various royal houses, and being a stepmother. Spent in what seemed like an endless stream.
