- The cast is absolutely jaw-dropping. Let’s get this out of the way early on – the BBC have assembled perhaps the greatest TV cast you’ll see this year.
- Series 2 covers four plays duing The Wars of the Roses. Well, sort of. The first two episodes will follow the plot of Henry VI, split into three distinct plays, leading into Richard III in Episode 3.
- Benedict Cumberbatch isn’t in it until Episode 2. Calm down, Cumber-fans – you’ve got another week until you see him back on the Beeb. Still, he’ll be worth the wait as one of Shakespeare’s most nefarious characters, Richard III.
- Expect some full-on blood and violence. Shakespeare didn’t shy away from violence in his historical plays, and Richard III in particular is brutal. As with the previous Hollow Crown series, this is a fairly visceral and full-blooded adaptation – so expect bloody battle sequences and gory moments.
