Synopsis

THE STORY: Mike Poulton’s two-part adaptation of Hilary Mantel’s Man Booker Prize-winning novels is a thrilling portrait of a brilliant manipulator navigating a high-stakes political landscape.

WOLF HALL begins in England in 1527.

King Henry VIII needs a male heir, and his anger grows as months pass without the divorce he craves.

Into this volatile court enters the commoner Thomas Cromwell.

Once a mercenary and now a master politician, he sets out to grant King Henry’s desire while methodically and ruthlessly pursuing his own Reforming agenda.
