Description
| Summary: | A historical drama for a modern audience, Wolf Hall, the 2016 Peabody Award and Golden Globe winner for Best Television Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television, tells the story of Thomas Cromwell, played by Mark Rylance (Bridge of Spies, Twelfth Night)-a blacksmith's son who rises from the ashes of personal disaster, and deftly picks his way through a court where "man is wolf to man." Damian Lewis (Homeland) is King Henry VIII, haunted by his brother's premature death and obsessed with protecting the Tudor dynasty by securing his succession with a male heir to the throne. The cast also includes Claire Foy (The Queen, Little Dorrit) as the future queen Anne Boleyn. Adapted from Hilary Mantel's best-selling Booker Prize-winning novels Wolf Hall and its sequel, Bring Up the Bodies, Wolf Hall follows the complex machinations and back room dealings of accomplished power broker Thomas Cromwell, who must serve king and country while dealing with deadly political intrigue, Henry VIII's tempestuous relationship with Anne Boleyn, and the religious upheavals of the Protestant reformation.
