Jodie Turner-Smith as Anne Boleyn

US streaming service AMC+ has acquired Channel 5’s three-part psychological thriller Anne Boleyn starring Jodie Turner-Smith (Queen & Slim, Without Remorse) in the lead role.

The SVoD service, which features programming from AMC, BBC America, IFC, SundanceTV and horror-focused Shudder, will debut the limited series on Thursday, December 9.

Commissioned originally by ViacomCBS-owned UK broadcaster Channel 5 and co-financed by Sony Pictures Television (SPT), the project follows the final months of Anne Boleyn’s life. SPT handles international distribution.

The project is directed by Lynsey Miller (Deadwater Fell, Doing Money) and was written by Eve Hedderwick Turner. It stars Barry Ward, Jamael Westman, Amanda Burton and Thalissa Teixeira.

Faye Ward and Hannah Farrell produce the project through their London-based prodco Fable Pictures, which is backed by SPT. Historian Dan Jones serves as executive producer.
