Firebrand is a 2023 historical drama film directed by Karim Aïnouz with a screenplay by Jessica and Henrietta Ashworth.

The upcoming film, which marks Ainouz’s first directing work in the English language, tells the story of Katherine Parr, the last of Henry VIII’s six wives, whose place as Queen Regent is jeopardized when she is suspected of associating with the accused heretic Anne Askew.

The film was shot in the Derbyshire region of the British Peak District and is based on Elizabeth Fremantle’s historical bestseller Queen’s Gambit.

The official synopsis reads: ‘In blood-soaked Tudor England, Katherine Parr, the sixth and last wife of King Henry VIII, is made regent while tyrant Henry fights abroad.

“Katherine has done everything she can to strive for a new future based on her radical Protestant beliefs.

When an increasingly sick and paranoid King returns, he turns his anger on the radicals, accuses Katherine’s childhood friend of treason and burns her at the stake.

Shocked and saddened, but forced to deny it, Katherine fights for her own survival. Conspiracy echoes through the palace.

“Everyone holds their breath – for the queen to slip, for Henry to take her head as before wives.

“With the hope of a future free of tyranny at stake, will Katherine submit to the inevitable for the king and country’s sake?”

The lead role is played by Swedish star Alicia Vikander, alongside Jude Law who plays the role of Henry VIII.

Sam Riley and Eddie Marsan play the noble brothers Thomas and Edward Seymour in the historical thriller.
