Sharing how she prepared for the show, Minnie said, “I read a couple of books about her. I already knew quite a lot about her. I’ve been fascinated by her since I learned about her in school when I was a kid. I looked at a lot of pictures. I had a really beautiful book of objects from the Tudor and Elizabethan periods and there was something about seeing the gloves and the fans and the shoes and everything and just reading little things about the way in which life at court worked that it really helped.”

“The show is extremely clever and funny and entertaining…it’s just incredibly entertaining,” she said. The second season of ‘The Serpent Queen’ is streaming on Lionsgate Play. (ANI)
