Chronicles the rise to power of Mary Queen of Scots (Kane) when she arrives in France as a 15-year-old, betrothed to Prince Francis, and with her three best friends as ladies-in-waiting. It details the secret history of survival at French Court amidst fierce foes, dark forces, and a world of sexual intrigue.

Mary, Queen of Scots may be one of history’s most complex and intriguing figures, but she was once also just an adolescent girl in search of love! That seems to be the conceit of the CW’s answer to The Tudors, Reign, in any event. In the series, the young Queen (Adelaide Kane) must journey from the convent where she grew up to the French court where she once again meets the boy she has been engaged to since the age of six, France’s Prince Francis (Toby Regbo). In life, Francis was sickly. In the land of CW he is a strapping playboy who yearns to stand on his own.
Francis’ mother, Queen Catherine (Megan Follows), is less-than enamored with Mary as it is, when she receives dire warnings from her confidant and psychic friend Nostradamus (Rossif Sutherland, Donald’s son/Kiefer's half-brother) that young Mary will cause her son’s demise she sets about plotting against the Scottish harlot! That is to say lass. We want to pull out the Nostradamusness of it all. He was in fact at court and counseled Catherine de Médicis, but he would have been somewhere in his 50s at the time, and not the roughish hunk that Sutherland is. Turning the drama up to 11 is Francis’ (historically non-existent) ******* half-brother Sebastian “Bash” (Torrance Coombs) who seems to have an affection for young Mary. So there’s your first three-way, pardon me, love triangle. We know how the CW loves the girl between two brothers angle.

seems better than white queen 

The White Queen sucks, man.. but ive watched it until the end because i always fond of war of roses story..

i skeptical of CW series. full of beautiful faces is a plus, but usually amateur-ish, rookies acting. no nudity somemore..

but i'll give a try..

no one support Reign ? 

take away the history, it is quite entertaining as a fictional show ; episode 4 the ending never expected, thought was the tunnel but otherwise 

Aww poor Francis

REIGN begins its second season with Mary and Francis at the helm of a nation burning.  France is rocked by the after effects of the plague – a disease that takes thousands upon thousands of lives across the land and ravages the stability of a nation.  From the ashes, powerful lords will rise, carrying out personal, religious and political vendettas, taking lives and tearing at Mary and Francis’ commitment to each other and to their people.  Friendships will be tested, loved ones murdered and alliances betrayed.  Meanwhile, a mysterious and deadly threat snatches victims from village streets and castle corridors, leaving evidence of savagery that looks like the work of monsters: mythical creatures who are the stuff of nightmares, but who may actually walk among us, doing the Devil's bidding.  REIGN is produced by CBS Television Studios and Whizbang Films/Take 5 Productions with executive producers Laurie McCarthy (“The Ghost Whisperer”), Frank Siracusa (“Beauty And The Beast”), John Weber (“Beauty And The Beast”) and Brad Silberling (“Moonlight Mile”).

As much as Kane would like to see all this drama happen, she revealed that she does not have enough energy to do the same thing that could last for a whole decade.

"On the other hand, doing the same show eight months out of the year for 75 hours a week for the next 10 years sounds exhausting!" she said. "It sounds exhausting. I can't even imagine, I would be living in Toronto forever, which is fine, but I like L.A. and I like my friends."Kane then mentioned how long she would like to see the series last.

"So I think we're going to get a good long run so I'm happy with like four or five years? Maybe?" she speculated.

Reign was renewed for a second season by The CW in February and will return to US television on October 2
