BY KATE O'HARE "Reign" premieres Thursday on The CW. CW hopes fantasy will 'Reign' When it comes to games of thrones, anyone's expendable, even family. After keeping her cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots, in custody for more than 18 years, Britain's Queen Elizabeth I became convinced Mary was plotting against her and lopped off the 44-year-old's head in 1587. Mary's wasn't the longest of lives, but it was an eventful one, and the excitement started young. On Thursday, Oct. 17, The CW premieres "Reign," a fanciful look at the teenage Mary (Adelaide Kane) and her rocky road to power. If you're expecting a dreary docudrama or even something as somewhat historically accurate as "The Tudors," you may be disappointed.

Executive producers are Laurie McCarthy ("Ghost Whisperer") and Frank Siracusa ("Beauty and the Beast"). As the story opens, the headstrong Mary arrives in France with her ladies-in-waiting – Greer (Celina Sinden), Kenna (Caitlin Stasey), Lola (Anna Popplewell) and Aylee (Jenessa Grant) – to formalize her arranged engagement (and political liaison) to Francis (Toby Regbo), the Dauphin of France and heir to the throne. Complicating the situation is Francis' strong-willed royal mother, Catherine (Megan Follows), and her adviser, Nostradamus, along with the handsome, roguish Sebastian (Torrance Coombs), aka Bash, Francis' illegitimate half brother (a character drawn from imagination, not history). "We're taking a little bit of creative license," explains Kane, a poised, self-possessed 23-year-old, during an interview in a hotel lounge in Beverly Hills as part of a press event. "You know what, it's all in good fun. We're not the History channel. We want to make the show fun and relatable. It looks great. That's all we're doing." And since the lives of women have changed dramatically in many ways since the Elizabethan era, Kane hopes some of that comes through. "I'm hoping we can bring up some pertinent and relevant social themes as well. I would very much like to see the whole notion of women as property (explored). "We're already touching on that and other issues, like female sexuality in those times, the whole virgin thing, mistresses versus marriage versus what kind of freedom young women had, especially young noblewomen, not to mention royalty, love and lovemaking."
