A sequel to the Peabody Award-winning Wolf Hall (2015), the show picks up in 1536 with Cromwell riding high as the king’s closest advisor and the most feared figure of his time.

(2) Miss Austen – Sunday, May 4, 2025 at 9/8c on Masterpiece

Cast: Keeley Hawes, Rose Leslie, Synnøve Karlsen, Patsy Ferran, Max Irons, Alfred Enoch, Calam Lynch, Phyllis Logan

Synopsis: “Miss Austen takes one of the most prominent literary mysteries in history – Cassandra Austen notoriously burning her famous sister Jane’s letters – and reimagines it as a fascinating, witty and heart-breaking story of sisterly love, while creating in Cassandra a character as captivating as any Austen heroine.”

(3) The Gold Seasons 1 & 2- Date TBA – on Masterpiece

Cast: Hugh Bonneville, Jack Lowden,  Dominic Cooper, Charlotte Spencer, Emun Elliott, Tom Cullen, Stefanie Martini, Amanda Drew

Synopsis: “The first season of The Gold tells the story of the 1983 Brink’s-Mat robbery. On the 26th November 1983, six armed men broke into the Brink’s-Mat security depot near London’s Heathrow Airport, and inadvertently stumbled across gold bullion worth £26m. What started as ‘a typical Old Kent Road armed robbery’ according to detectives at the time, became a seminal event in British criminal history, remarkable not only for the scale of the theft, at the time the biggest in world history, but for its wider legacy.”
