A third episode in the Queen Elizabeth series, "Elizabeth: The Dark Age", is planned. According to screenwriter John Rogers, the success of "Elizabeth" led to Kapur being tapped to work on an adaptation of Isaac Asimov's "Foundation Trilogy", but the project was eventually shelved. Kapur tentatively planned to helm a motion picture account of the life of the Buddha, titled "Buddha", but the plans were dropped for unstated reasons. He planned to adapt "Larklight", a book by Philip Reeve. Kapur traveled to Yerevan, Armenia to explore the possibility of making a film about the Armenian Genocide.
