From Queen Victoria's childhood to marrying Prince Albert, the eight part drama, Victoria, will explore the life of the historic Queen.
In a drama series first, ITV's Victoria will focus on the life of the Queen, played by Jenna Coleman.
It's being produced by the broadcaster's recent acquisition Mammoth Screen, makers of BBC One's Poldark.
“This epic series is a chance to see the Victorian age through the eyes of the Queen herself for the first time," ITV's Director of Drama, Steve November, told the RTS.
"She's a vibrant, fascinating character whose legacy lives on today. Her life story is one that is by turns genuinely dramatic, romantic and surprising. We are delighted to be working with Daisy Goodwin, Tom Vaughan, Mammoth Screen and our fantastic cast."
