It is official: Damian Lewis, late of Homeland, will play Henry VIII in the BBC 2 adaptation of Hilary Mantel’s acclaimed novel Wolf Hall. Mark Rylance will star opposite Lewis as Thomas Cromwell (technically, the book is about Cromwell, remember?); the series is scheduled to air on PBS sometime in 2015. Okay, but how does this affect your [spoiler] “Brody is alive!!” conspiracy theories?
