In The Tudors' third season (Showtime, Sundays at 9 pm/ET), Jane Seymour (Annabelle Wallis) has taken the throne as the new queen of England. With her ascent, King Henry VIII (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) finds happiness at home, even as rebellion across the country threatens his sovereignty. But this week, Henry's world — and the history of England — changes forever when tragedy befalls him, his queen and the royal court that adores her.
TVGuide.com caught up with Wallis ahead of the heart-breaking episode to get to know more about Seymour, see why she's left out of Henry's more salacious scenes and why her on-screen dances with Meyers are few and far between. Read what she had to say, after the jump.

The Tudors has returned to Showtime (Sundays, 9 pm/ET) for a third season of lust, intrigue, murder and more. As the royals arrive, Henry VIII (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) makes Jane Seymour (Annabelle Wallis) his new queen, and a surprise rebellion undermines the King's efforts to sever ties to Catholicism. Thomas Cromwell (played by U.K. native James Frain), meanwhile — Henry's closest adviser and the architect of the Reformation — is on the hot seat, and things only get worse when he brokers a new marriage for the King that goes terribly wrong. In a chat that was part history lesson and part Season 3 preview, TVGuide.com got the scoop from Frain on what it was like playing a man who incurs Henry's wrath, working with Tudors newbie Joss Stone and how it feels to wear all that heavy royal garb... in the middle of summer.

The Tudors
9 pm/ET Showtime
It's the return of the king, as this royal melodrama, one of Showtime's crowning achievements, begins a third season. Serial bride-taker (and killer) Henry VIII (his number of succession, not the total of women he married), is betrothed for the third time. Gentle, genteel and kindly noblewoman Jane Seymour (Annabelle Wallis) is his choice, and the pressure mounts on her to provide him with a male heir, while Henry deals with a northern uprising over his anti-Catholic Reformation.
