Channel 4 Orders Second Season Of 'The Royals: A History Of Scandals'

The UK's Channel 4 has ordered a second season of the series The Royals: A History Of Scandals, which will be available on More4 and Channel 4’s streaming service.

In the series, presenter Suzannah Lipscomb sets to delve further into Britain’s extensive regal history to reveal more about the scandals we think we know. 

According to the network, "the historian and presenter will travel the country visiting some of the UK’s most extraordinary palaces and historic houses to discuss the role that the press, parliament and public have played in generating outrage and spreading gossip across the centuries."

The series is produced by STV Studios-owned Hello Mary, with Hello Mary founder Steve Regan serving as executive producer for the series.

"As has been made starkly clear this year, social media is awash with some truly wild royal rumors and conspiracy theories," Regan said in a statement. "But as Suzannah expertly showed in series one, this kind of gossip is nothing new, and we’re delighted that Channel 4 has commissioned us to uncover even more historic regal scandals that are sure to make viewers clutch their pearls – or crown jewels – in surprise."

Season two of The Royals: A History Of Scandals is expected to premiere next year.
