It\u2019s been years in the making but we are finally getting Wolf Hall season 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The acclaimed BBC drama is returning for its sequel season, based on the third novel by the late Dame Hilary Mantel in her Thomas Cromwell, The Mirror and the Light, and we\u2019ve already been treated to first-look images<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Continuing directly from the end of Wolf Hall, the official plot synopsis for the follow-up run reads:\u00a0\u201cMay 1536. Anne Boleyn, Henry\u2019s second wife, is dead. As the axe drops, Thomas Cromwell emerges from the bloodbath to continue his climb to power and wealth, while his formidable master, Henry, settles to short-lived happiness with his third queen, Jane Seymour.<\/p>\n

\u201cCromwell, a man with only his wits to rely on, has no great family to back him, and no private army. Navigating the moral complexities that accompany the exercise of power in this brutal and bloody time, Cromwell is caught between his desire to do what is right and his instinct to survive. But in the wake of Henry VIII having executed his queen, no one is safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the full confirmed cast for Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light.<\/p>\n
