British actress Kate Phillips is set to make a return to our screens in the highly anticipated new series of Wolf Hall. The talented star, known for her roles in popular programmes such as Peaky Blinders and Downton Abbey, will be portraying the character of Jane Seymour in Wolf Hall: The Mirror And The Light.
Phillips, who studied at Leeds University before attending The Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, has already made a name for herself in the industry with her impressive performances. Despite some initial controversy surrounding her casting as Henry VIII’s third wife, Phillips received widespread acclaim for her portrayal in the first series of Wolf Hall back in 2015.
Since then, the actress has gone on to star in a number of successful projects, including War & Peace, The Crown, and The Alienist. Her role as Linda Shelby in Peaky Blinders has solidified her status as a rising star in the world of television.
Wolf Hall: The Mirror And The Light is the screen adaptation of Hilary Mantel’s third novel in the Wolf Hall trilogy. The series, which will consist of six episodes, is set to air on BBC One and iPlayer, although an exact release date has yet to be announced.
Director Peter Kosminsky has praised the stellar cast assembled for the show, which includes the likes of Damian Lewis, Mark Rylance, and of course, Kate Phillips. With filming taking place in Tudor locations across England and Wales, the series promises to bring Mantel’s gripping story to life for audiences around the world.
