Lujuria, ambición, odio, intriga y traición se unen en esta producción que recorre los primeros años de reinado de Enrique VIII. El monarca de 'Los Tudor' es joven, atractivo, poderoso, seductor y mucho más complejo y fascinante que la tradicional imagen del orondo soberano de barba roja. Con un apetito voraz por las mujeres y la diversión y un ansia de poder desmedido, el joven rey deja la política en manos de sus consejeros, mientras él recorre las camas femeninas de la Corte y va de caza, representa obras de teatro o juega al tenis con sus amigos. Nada ni nadie puede oponerse a sus propios deseos.
