Based on the bestselling historical novel Queen's Gambit by Elizabeth Fremantle, FIREBRAND follows legendary Queen of England, Catherine Parr (Alicia Vikander), and her quest to survive the perilous last months in the life of her ailing and abusive husband, Henry VIII (Jude law). In blood-soaked Tudor England, the twice married, accomplished, and educated Parr reluctantly agrees to become the sixth wife of tyrannical King Henry VIII. Her consent to marry him carries great personal risk, given her predecessors are either vanquished, beheaded, or dead. Also starring Eddie Marsan, Sam Riley, Erin Doherty and Simon Russell Beale.
