It’s May of 1536 and Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII’s second wife, is dead. Thomas Cromwell (Mark Rylance) emerges from the bloodbath to continue his climb to power and wealth, while his formidable master, Henry (Damian Lewis), settles to short-lived happiness with his third queen, Jane Seymour. In this weekend’s premiere, Cromwell makes a risky play to save Princess Mary from her father’s murderous streak. This series continues Sunday evenings through April.
