The Big Picture The CW's Reign explores the life of Mary , Queen of Scots, as she tries to secure her crown and protect her people. The 2013 series is one of many shows about historical queens, a trend that has been growing popular in historical dramas. With the likes of The Crown, The Serpent Queen, Victoria, and many more, these sorts of series have only grown more popular.

Release Date October 17, 2013 Creator Laurie McCarthy, Stephanie Sengupta Cast Megan Follows , Craig Parker , Will Kemp , Jonathan Goad , Rachel Skarsten Main Genre Drama Seasons 4 Studio The CW Expand Most of 'Reign' Deviates From History While the names are real, very few of the events in Reign really happened. With the constant struggle against the occult, this shouldn't be a surprise. Yet, even some of the factual events are mixed with fiction.

Outside the Queen's marriages, there are other aspects of Reign with degrees of truth. Some of the series' most important characters are not remotely historically accurate, like Mary's ladies Kenna , Greer , Lola , and Aylee . Though several young girls from Scotland did accompany Mary to France, they were all named Mary, and none wed French Lords, died in France, had a son by the Queen's husband, worked as a madam, or became King Henry's mistress.
