2015 BiographyDramaHistory 360 min TV-14 7.8 / 10 IMDb 8.1 / 10

Following the fact-based historical book of the same name, this drama follows the rise of Cromwell as he becomes Henry the VIII's closest advisor. England in the 1520s is a heartbeat from disaster. If the King dies without a male heir, the country could be destroyed by civil war. Henry VIII wants to annul his marriage of twenty years and marry Anne Boleyn. The Pope and most of Europe oppose him. Into this impasse steps Thomas Cromwell: a wholly original man, a charmer, and a bully, both idealist and opportunist, astute in reading people, and implacable in his ambition. But Henry is volatile: one day tender, one day murderous. Cromwell helps him break the opposition, but what will be the price of his triumph?

Wolf Hall Season 2

More About Wolf Hall

The drama chronicles Thomas Cromwell’s rise to power in the court of Henry VIII, establishing him as a powerful minister during the king’s reign. Season 1 covers his humble beginnings as a blacksmith’s son and a lawyer, and the path he takes to climb up the ranks, ultimately becoming the king’s chief minister. 

In Season 2, titled The Mirror and the Light, we see the aftermath of Anne Boleyn’s execution. Cromwell continues to influence the king, making him one of the most powerful politicians in the court. However, even an influence as great as his becomes futile in a court tainted by deceit, ambitions, and betrayal.
