Please notice this is not a confirmed message but the article quoting Mr.Kosminsky and it looks very promising:) fingers crossed!
Fans of the historical drama Wolf Hall will be pleased to know that filming for a second season will start next year.
The news was announced by the series director Peter Kosminsky at Cheltenham Literature Festival.
Mr Kosminsky said the BBC has the rights to make the final instalment based on the third book in the trilogy, The Mirror and the Light despite that fact that author Hilary Mantel has not actually finished the book.
“I don’t know how many of you know this but Hilary doesn’t write sequentially, she writes episodically,” he said to the audience in Cheltenham.
“So for example she has already written the end. The BBC has the rights and if it [the BBC] still exists at that point I think we will be making it next year.”
The show stars mark Rylance and Damian Lewis and much of it was filmed in the West.
Mr Kosminsky said the actors and writers were keen to delve back into the deadly politics of King Henry VIII’s court.
“We’ve been promised a manuscript, so we will get it as soon as it’s ready. It then becomes an issue of when Peter Straughan our screenwriter is available,” Kosminsky added. “He’s a very in-demand guy, currently working on at least two or three different projects to my certain knowledge, but I know this would be a priority for him.
“And then, of course, we need Mark Rylance to be available and Damian Lewis to be available, and they’re both, I’m happy to say, extremely busy and successful actors. There are a lot of moving parts, but in principle I’d love to do it, if I can get all these plates spinning at the same time.”
