From Company Pictures (UK) in association with Masterpiece Entertainment and Playground Entertainment (US), the six-part drama is an adaptation of Hilary Mantel’s best-selling novel of the same name, and will incorporate her follow-up work, Bring Up the Bodies; both of which won the prestigious Man Booker Prize.
The novels formed a fictionalised biography and charted the rise to power of Thomas Cromwell during the reign of Henry VIII. Acclaimed British actor Mark Rylance is taking on the challenging central role. His film recent credits include The Gunman, which shot in Spain last summer with Javier Bardem, Sean Penn, Idris Elba and Ray Winstone.
