What happens
Wolf Hall is a British television series adaptation of the book trilogy of the same name by Hilary Mantel, a fictionalised biography documenting the life of Thomas Cromwell. The six-part first series, based on the novels Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies, was initially broadcast on BBC Two in January 2015. It documented the rapid rise to power of Thomas Cromwell in the court of Henry VIII, through the death of Sir Thomas More, to Cromwell's success in freeing the king of his marriage to Anne Boleyn. It was first broadcast abroad in April 2015 in the United States on PBS and in Australia on BBC First. The first series was a critical success and received eight nominations at the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards and three nominations at the 73rd Golden Globe Awards, winning for Best Miniseries or Television Film. The second series, adapted from The Mirror & the Light, the final novel in the trilogy, featured Mark Rylance, director Peter Kosminsky, and writer Peter Straughan returning; it was filmed between November 2023 and April 2024 and was first broadcast on 10 November 2024.
