Get to know the cast of the Wolf Hall sequel

As a passionate aficionado of historical fiction and a devoted fan of Hilary Mantel’s masterpiece, I eagerly await the return of “Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light.” Having immersed myself in the first two seasons, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia mixed with anticipation as the cast members return to bring Thomas Cromwell’s captivating story to life once more.

If you’ve read the works of the late Hilary Mantel, you may be aware of a novel titled “Wolf Hall.” This book has been transformed into a six-part TV show.

One intriguing aspect of the Wolf Hall trilogy lies in its classification as historical fiction, rather than a strict representation of historical facts.

The show traces the happenings from the first two books within a trilogy that follows Thomas Cromwell’s ascension to power. In the upcoming second season, which unfolds after Anne Boleyn’s execution (who was previously depicted as being beheaded), the narrative will center around Cromwell’s downfall and the marriage of Henry VIII to Jane Seymour.

There was also a Wolf Hall stage production, which starred Nathaniel Parker.

According to The Independent, several actors from the initial season are coming back, but some have been replaced due to different circumstances.

Returning Actors

Returning actors from the original Wolf Hall include:

1. Mark Rylance as Thomas Cromwell
2. Damien Lewis as Henry VIII
3. Kate Phillips as Jane Seymour
4. Jonathan Pryce as Cardinal Wolsey
5. Lilit Lesser as Princess Mary
6. Thomas Brodie-Sangster as Rafe Sadler

Recasts

1. Timothy Spall as The Duke of Norfolk – replacing the late Bernard Hill
2. Harry Melling as Thomas Wriothesley – replacing Joel MacCormack
3. Harriet Walter as Margret Pole – replacing Janet Henfrey
4. Charlie Rowe as Gregory Cromwell – replacing Tom Holland

When Does Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light Take Place?

This series primarily unfolds during King Henry VIII’s romance with Jane Seymour, providing a glimpse into the final four years of his reign. However, the central narrative revolves around the fall from grace and eventual execution of Thomas Cromwell.

If you’re familiar with the first version of “Wolf Hall,” it won’t feature Anne Boleyn, but there may be mentions of her since this season unfolds after her execution has taken place.
