The year is 1485. Victory at Bosworth Field has brought a new king to England – but not as anyone expected. Richard III’s triumph ends abruptly with an accidental death, paving the way for his young son, Richard IV, one of the famed Princes in the Tower, to ascend the throne. This series plunges into the turbulent world surrounding this unexpected reign, focusing on Edmund, Richard IV's overlooked and undervalued second son. Driven by a desire to earn his father’s approval – and increasingly frustrated by his position – Edmund navigates courtly intrigue and perilous schemes throughout the season, culminating in a daring bid to challenge the king himself.
