BBC Two’s six-part adaptation of Hilary Mantel’s award-winning novels Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies, which fictionalize the rise of Thomas Cromwell (Mark Rylance, The Other Boleyn Girl) in the court of King Henry VIII (Damian Lewis, Homeland, Band of Brothers), debuts in the UK in January and will hit US PBS stations sometime in April.
The loaded miniseries also stars Claire Foy (Vampire Academy) as Anne Boleyn, Mark Gatiss (Sherlock) as Stephen Gardiner, Jonathan Pryce (Brazil) as Thomas Wolsey, Joanne Whalley (Scandal, The Borgias) as Catherine of Aragorn and Anton Lesser (Little Dorrit) as Thomas More.
