Joss Stone is adding to her acting resume with a role as Anne of Cleves in “The Tudors.”

The 21-year-old British soul singer will portray the fourth wife of Henry VIII, played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers, in the racy drama’s upcoming third season.

The Irish-Canadian-U.S. co-production airs on CBC-TV in Canada.

The third season will follow Henry as he weds his third wife Jane Seymour (played by Icelandic actress Anita Briem), before moving on to Anne, the daughter of a German nobleman.

Stone’s stint on the show is not expected to be long, as the fickle king had his marriage to Anne annulled soon after the wedding.

Although the role marks Stone’s TV acting debut, she appeared in an 2005 episode of “American Dreams” as “Singer In The Lair,” performing her hit single “Right to be Wrong,” and had a role in the 2006 fantasy film “Eragon.”

She will return to the big screen in September in the comedy “Snappers,” for which she also produced the score.

The Grammy-winning Stone released her third studio album, “Introducing Joss Stone,” in March 2007.
