Season One

Season One of The Tudors is the first season in the series and starts with the young monarch of England, Henry Tudor, beginning to feel unhappy with his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. It features a main cast that changes when the series entered its second season, and the main cast constantly changes - although Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Sam Neil and Natalie Dormer are the most prominent cast members, along with Maria Doyle Kennedy. The series shows a young womanizing Henry desperate for a son - and this present is given to him eventually. The first season is also the only season in which Henry doesn't have a beard - from the second season premiere and onwards he sports a beard as the character gets older and develops more.
