Wolf Hall

"I feel like I'm almost saying, 'Hi, Hilary, we're carrying on with it, don't worry.'" The cast and crew reflect on the extraordinary storytelling talents of the late Hilary Mantel, author of Wolf Hall, and carrying on her legacy.

Costume Designer Joanna Eatwell and the cast describe the luscious, detailed costumes of the series, and how the characters' outfits help tell their stories.

Henry VIII may have been the king, but the women surrounding him and his court were all powerful in their own ways. The cast discuss the many intriguing women characters of the series.

"None of them know what tomorrow will bring." The cast and crew examine the turbulent reign of King Henry XIII and what that meant for his court and country.

The cast and crew discuss the historic locations, like Hampton Court Palace and Wells Cathedral, where they filmed the series.

Mark Rylance, Timothy Spall, and more break down who's who in the complicated web of allies and enemies in King Henry VIII's court.

After the events of Wolf Hall, Thomas Cromwell finds himself in a position much higher and more precarious than he could've dreamed. Take a look at where we left off and what to expect from Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light.
