PREMIERES SUNDAY, MARCH 23 AT 8:00 PM

Eagerly awaited and years in the making, WOLF HALL: THE MIRROR AND THE LIGHT will trace the final four years of Thomas Cromwell’s life, completing his journey from self-made man to the most feared, influential figure of his time. Cromwell is as complex as he is unforgettable: a politician and a fixer, a diplomat and a father, a man who both defied and defined his age.

In this second season of WOLF HALL: THE MIRROR AND THE LIGHT, Academy Award winner Mark Rylance will return to his BAFTA-winning role of Thomas Cromwell, with Emmy Award winner Damian Lewis returning as King Henry VIII, alongside Academy Award nominee Jonathan Pryce as Cardinal Wolsey. 

Cromwell, a man with only his wits to rely on, has no great family to back him, and no private army. Navigating the moral complexities that accompany the exercise of power in this brutal and bloody time, Cromwell is caught between his desire to do what is right and his instinct to survive. But in the wake of Henry VIII having executed his queen, no one is safe.

The inevitable question remains: how long can anyone survive under Henry’s cruel and capricious gaze?

Watch the first episode of the new season on Alabama Public Television on Sunday, March 23 at 8:00 Pm.
