‘Wolf Hall: The Mirror And The Light’ Producer Colin Callender: Reuniting Cast 10 Years Later For Finale Was “A Four-Dimensional Chess Game” – Contenders TV
'Wolf Hall' producer Colin Callender and actor Damian Lewis talked 'The Mirror and the Light' at Deadline's Contenders TV
It took a decade of maneuvering to finally complete the television adaptation of novelist Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall trilogy with the co-stars back on screen, executive producer Colin Callender said at Saturday’s Deadline Contenders TV panel in Los Angeles. Based on the late Mantel’s imagining of 16th Century royal history, the lush Tudor costume drama follows the arc of King Henry VIII and, in particular, his consigliere Cromwell, the cunning advisor, statesman and fixer who kept his head — literally — while others lost theirs until he, too, finally fell out of court favor. The Mirror and the Light brings the Reformation Era saga, with its palace intrigue and ruthless marital politics, to a fitting end as — historical spoiler alert — Rylance’s Cromwell suffers the same fate he orchestrated for Henry’s second wife, Anne Boleyn (Claire Foy), in the Season 1 2015 miniseries.
