The Wolf Hall sequel, The Mirror and the Light, has seen a number of casting changes, including the Duke of Norfolk, who was originally played by Bernard Hill

When Wolf Hall first graced our screens in 2015, it boasted a star-studded cast including Damian Lewis as Henry VIII and Mark Rylance as Thomas Cromwell. However, in the sequel, Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light, not all of their co-stars will be making a return.

"Obviously very, very sadly, Bernard Hill died not long before we got going so it wasn't possible for him to return as the Duke of Norfolk and Tim Spall... I think the Duke of Norfolk is different in the new book. I think Tim fitted that really well."In the opening scenes of The Mirror and the Light, viewers will notice that Tom Holland has been replaced as Cromwell's son Gregory.

"And obviously, we aren't playing lookalikes in the series. Damian is many things, but he doesn't resemble Henry VIII particularly. Jonathan Pryce doesn't particularly resemble Cardinal Wolsey."
