And “The Royal Collection,” The Complete Collector’s Set ON NOVEMBER 9, 2010

Starring Golden Globe® Winner Jonathan Rhys Myers, Henry Cavill, Sarah Bolger, Tamzin Merchant, Joely Richardson and Max Brown

Toronto (October 13, 2010) – Phase 4 Films is pleased to announce the Canadian DVD and Blu-ray release of the complete fourth season of the critically acclaimed television series THE TUDORS on November 9, 2010. Concurrently with the release of the final season, Phase 4 Films will release THE ROYAL COLLECTION, the Complete Uncut series of THE TUDORS consisting of a 13-Disc set, including unedited episodes from all four seasons, plus hours of bonus material.

Season Four of the racy royal drama stars Golden Globe® Award Winner Jonathan Rhys Myers (Match Point, Mission Impossible: III) as King Henry VIII; Henry Cavill (The Count of Monte Cristo, Stardust) as Duke of Suffolk, the King’s close friend and confidant; Sarah Bolger (In America) as Princess Mary; Max Brown (True True Lie, Fallen Angels) as Edward Seymour; Tamzin Merchant (Pride and Prejudice) as Katherine Howard, Henry’s fifth wife; and Joely Richardson (Nip/Tuck, The Patriot) as Queen Catherine (Parr), Henry’s sixth wife in his final and longest marriage. THE TUDORS is created and written by Michael Hirst (Elizabeth, Elizabeth: The Golden Age).

The concluding season of THE TUDORS brings us through the final years of one of the greatest figures of English history, King Henry VIII. Although he has been in power for many years, Henry’s life and times remain as turbulent, controversial and dramatic as they were when he was a young King. Now in his late forties, with an ailing body and increasing sense of paranoia, the king is more obsessed than ever with his quest for an heir. As the scandalous series comes to an epic finale, King Henry will stop at nothing to secure his place in history.

“THE TUDORS continues to be one of our most successful releases and we are excited to bring the long awaited fourth and final season to homes across Canada,” said Berry Meyerowitz, President and CEO of Phase 4 Films.  “This climactic season has more sex, drama and intrigue - everything fans have been asking for and more.  THE ROYAL COLLECTION, with its premium packaging and hours of special features, offers the perfect holiday gift this season.”

Over the course of its run, THE TUDORS has received extensive critical acclaim. The New York Post gave it four stars and called it the “Best Series since The Sopranos. Period,” and Variety called it “lusty good fun.” TV Guide said Jonathan Rhys Myers’ portrait of the king is “played with riveting intensity and bristling sensuality,” and LA Times called the series “lush and bejeweled.” To date the series has received 15 Gemini nominations and five wins; a total of 15 Emmy Award® nominations and six wins; and three Golden Globe Award nominations, including Best Television series, Drama and Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series, Drama for Jonathan Rhys Meyers. 

The fourth season follows the enormous success of the first three seasons of THE TUDORS, which resonated strongly with Canadian consumers.
