This week Starz will roll out its latest original drama series, The Spanish Princess, as part of a lineup of new and returning shows debuting on cable networks and streaming services. 

The Spanish Princess, the latest Starz adaptation of Philippa Gregory novels following The White Queen and The White Princess, premieres May 5 on the premium channel.  The story follows the life of Catherine of Aragon-- the Princess of Spain -- who has been promised the English throne all her life. She arrives in 16th Century London with her diverse court, but when her husband dies suddenly the throne seems lost to Catherine until she sets her sights on the new heir, the future King Henry VIII, according to Starz.

Below are video trailers and premiere dates for several shows debuting this week on cable networks and streaming service:

April 29 -- Ms. Fisher’s Modern Murder Mysteries (drama series) -- Acorn TV

April 30 -- Kids Behind Bars: Life Or Parole (reality series) -- A&E

April 30 -- On Tour With Asperger’s Are Us (documentary) -- HBO

May 3 -- Dead to Me (comedy series) -- Netflix

May 3 -- Into The Dark: All That We Destroy -- Hulu

May 3 -- Flinch (game show) -- Netflix

Starz will debut its original limited series The Spanish Princess on May 5, the network said Thursday.

The Spanish Princess, the third installment following miniseries The White Queen and The White Princess, focuses on the life of Catherine of Aragon, told uniquely from the point of view of women, and sheds light on the lives of people of color living and working in 16th century London. The series is produced by Playground and All3 Media’s New Pictures and, like the first two installments, is drawn from the global best-selling novels of Philippa Gregory.

"Catherine of Aragon has generally been depicted negatively, as an unwanted and burdensome wife, so this story of her early years as a strong, driven young woman and shrewd political player is a fresh and untold tale,” said The Spanish Princess showrunners Emma Frost and Matthew Graham in a statement. “We are also especially pleased to be able to bring into the light the inspiring story of people of color in early Tudor England.”
