| 9/8/26 |  Paul Greengrass: Turning Andrew Garfield Into a Medieval Rebel | The story of disgruntled citizens feeling the need to rise up against a rigged system and distant elites is one that defines our moment. But we’re not unique in that feeling. Mistrust of the elite goes back a long way — like when England’s peasants almost toppled the ancien regime of King Richard II in 1381. And that’s the focus of Oscar-nominated director Paul Greengrass’s latest film, The Uprising. Starring Andrew Garfield as a disgruntled ploughman, Cosmo Jarvis as Wat Tyler — and with our very own Dan Jones serving as historical consultant — the film takes us into the tumult of 14th-Century London to help explain why ordinary people brought the reign of King Richard II to the brink. In this very special In Conversation episode, Dan and Paul explore how they told the story of the Peasants Revolt on the silver screen, while Paul peels back the curtain about how historic films actually get made — and why ‘accuracy’ is the wrong question. Plus, they reflect on why the lessons of the Peasants Revolt have incredible relevance to the fractious politics of today. Catch The Uprising in cinemas from: September 11, US and Canada (and select US theatres from September 10) October 9, UK October 30, Latvia – Remember to stick around for Paul’s bonus episode with Dan, where Paul gives Dan’s his top five favourite historical films.

| 9/1/26 |  What King Arthur Reveals About Ourselves | Did King Arthur exist? Amy Jeffs isn't fussed.

Together, they try to understand why one of Britain's most compelling legends has endured, and why centuries of writers, artists and dreamers keep remaking him. – If you want a deeper dive into the medieval world with Dan and Amy, grab their accompanying bonus episode at patreon.com/thisishistory. There, Amy shares her favourite absurd moments from medieval manuscripts, including the time when St Martin granted a woman’s wish to see her husband covered all over in male genitalia. – A Sony Music Entertainment production.

| 8/11/26 |  S10 E12 | To Bosworth | Richard III’s son and heir, Edward of Middleham, dies unexpectedly. Then tragedy strikes twice: his wife Queen Anne dies, too. Richard, who ruthlessly diverted the line of succession away from his nephews, now has to contend with a dynastic line reset to zero. His solution? Incest. His niece, Elizabeth of York — daughter of late King Edward IV — is being pitched as England’s new Queen. But thrusting incest onto an increasingly agitated kingdom isn’t exactly what the people want. It’s fertile ground for other nobles who have any claim to the throne, like Henry Tudor. And so, he — along with Richard’s ever-growing list of enemies — descend on England. – As always, Dan’s royal favourites can chime in anytime on the royal court on Patreon at patreon.com/thisishistory. It’s where you get your bonus episodes, and on this week’s episode Dan and Al discuss whether Richard III had buyers’ remorse, Henry Tudor’s shadow court in France, and why France’s Charles VIII was interested in driving a wedge between England and Brittany. – A Sony Music Entertainment production.

| 8/4/26 |  S10 E11 | Last Hope | *THIS IS HISTORY — A DYNASTY TO DIE FOR* *Season 10, Episode 11: Last Hope* It’s 1482. Margaret Beaufort and her husband, Thomas Stanley hold the most power in Northwest England…and they’re hungry for more. They’ve asked their pal, King Edward IV, to organise a royal pardon for their exiled son, Henry Tudor, who’s in Brittany. The aim? To marry Edward’s daughter, Elizabeth of York and claim the crown. But… there's a problem. Richard III has seized the throne, reversed Henry’s pardon and induced nationwide mayhem. Backed by Francis, Duke of Brittany, Henry incites a rebellion against Richard and aims to invade England by force.

| 7/28/26 |  S10 E10 | The Princes In The Tower | Richard Duke of Gloucester has the crown in his sights. But first, he needs to clear the room. Allies become enemies. Councillors are arrested. Lord Hastings is dead. And Edward IV’s heirs are locked in the Tower of London. Then Richard needs to sell himself. A preacher declares Edward IV’s children illegitimate while Richard positions himself as the antidote to his brother’s salacious decadence. Richard’s going to be England’s pious, orderly, righteous king. Or so he claims. The heirs locked in the tower slowly slip from public view — and history has never stopped asking about where they went. – As always, Dan’s royal favourites can chime in anytime on the royal court on Patreon at patreon.com/thisishistory.
