We hope that Damian will also return to the show as Henry VIII.Īnd I did not come to Wolf Hall because of Damian. Mantel published the final installment in Wolf Hall series The Mirror and The Light in 2020 and BBC confirmed they are adapting The Mirror and The Light as a sequel to the Golden-Globe winning Wolf Hall and that Mark Rylance will resume his role as Thomas Cromwell. As we all know both books have been adapted for a BBC miniseries which I many times called “the best thing that ever happened to TV” as well as for plays produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company. Mantel became the first British writer and the first woman who won the prestigious Man Booker Prize with Wolf Hall and its sequel Bring Up the Bodies. She once said she knew Wolf Hall would be the best thing she would produce when she started writing it. Yet Wolf Hall Trilogy stands out as her Magnum Opus. She published 17 books that received literary applause. The world lost a true literary genius yesterday. We’re perversely proud of Henry.” – Hilary Mantel No other nation has a king who had six wives and cut the heads off two. “Henry VIII is a monster, but he’s our monster.
