About the program

Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light, tell the spellbinding story of royal “fixer” Thomas Cromwell (Mark Rylance) during the brutally capricious reign of Henry VIII (Damian Lewis). The first installment focuses on Cromwell’s rise to power in the king’s court and his role in the downfall of Henry’s second wife, Anne Boleyn (Claire Foy). The new TV sequel picks up after Boleyn’s beheading and follows the last four years of Cromwell’s life, completing his journey from self-made man to the most feared and influential figure of his time. Both series are based on Hilary Mantel’s Booker Prize-winning trio of novels.
