Showtime Offers Preview of "The Tudors"

Curious about the upcoming costume drama The Tudors, starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Sam Neill, Jeremy Northam, Henry Czerny, Henry Cavill, and Callum Blue? (Or just looking for your next historical fix with the conclusion of Rome nearly upon us?)

Showtime has created a VIP preview of their new bodices-and-battles drama, The Tudors (premiering April 1 at 10 pm on the pay cabler), but you can catch a sneak peak at, not one, but two upcoming episodes from the luxe period drama now.

The two-episode preview can be found here and, fittingly enough, the password is the word "king."

Oh and a word to the wise: The Tudors features the kind of, er, atmosphere you might find on Rome or Deadwood, so I wouldn't try watching this at work. Unless of course, you happen to work in a Henry VIII-style workplace where anything goes and sex, betrayals, and beheadings are the watchwords of the day.

In which case, go crazy.
