The Tudors have two storylines (Henry's break from Rome & Elizabeth's struggle to have and keep her throne) that are easy to explain to audiences and have plenty of intrigue. The Stuarts...you have to know lot of context already, I think. Like about Mary of Scots and how that effected James VI/I.

And it's just not as high drama. William & Mary giving up so much power to Parliament made the royals less consequential. The English Revolution isn't as crazy as the French one.

The costuming, though. Would love to see more set in this time period just for the fashion.

I mean, modern royals (Victoria onward) have even less power and there's plenty of TV about them!

Yeah. The English Civil War, the Restoration and the Glorious Revolution are absolutely very interesting (although personally I would prefer a series that focused on continental politics during the same period over English politics). But the problem is that they're all very involved and intricate and tortuous. They're not big, simple, punchy emotional stories.

And also - you can do the Tudors as a soap opera. You can do the American Revolution and expect people to think of the Americans as just being "the good guys". You can do the French Revolution and do the politics in a way that lines up with modern politics.

You can't do any of that with the Stuart period. They're not a gripping soap opera, exactly. It's incredibly unclear who counts as "the good guys". And the politics don't really line up with modern categories at all.
