The upcoming fourth season of the highly popular historical fantasy romance television series "Reign" is promising a whole new set of political and romantic intrigues which should prove to be quite entertaining to loyal viewers. Queen Mary (played by Adelaide Kane) has experienced a lot of trials during her time in France and with the death of her husband Francis II of France (played by Toby Regbo), she now has to move on with her life and find another suitable partner to regain her power.

According to the latest spoiler reports, Queen Mary will now be on an entirely different playing field as she now returns to her home in Scotland. While dealing with the death of her late husband — who she had been engaged to since they were six years old — has been hard for the young queen, she now has to face new challenges in her own country.

Reports have revealed that Mary will be faced with brand new enemies in the new season, all of whom are out to see her fall from her position of power. Since she is no longer the ruler of France — and with the death of her husband — all of her alliances are now broken.

Francis' brother has already been declared the new king of France, while Catherine (played by Megan Follows) has been appointed regent. Mary must now seek a new ruler to marry in order for her family to forge new alliances and to guarantee that they stay in power.

The new season will apparently be once again focusing on the importance of marriage and how it is vital in securing power between the different kingdoms in medieval Europe. The new episodes will also apparently feature some new and old characters that will be vying for the Queen's hand, which will include Lord Danley, played by Will Kemp.

"Reign" season 4 has already been green-lit for production. The show is expected to return on January 2017 on The CW.
