The Hollow Crown (TV series)


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hollow Crown is a series of British television films


featuring William Shakespeare's History Plays.
The first cycle is an adaptation of Shakespeare's second
historical tetralogy, the Henriad: Richard II, Henry IV,
Part I and Henry IV, Part II (treated as one film in two
parts in the series) and Henry V.[1] It starred Ben
Whishaw, Jeremy Irons and Tom Hiddleston. Olivier
Award winners, Rupert Goold, Richard Eyre and Thea
Sharrock directed the telefilms.[2] It was produced by
Rupert Ryle-Hodges for BBC Two and was executive
produced by Sam Mendes and Pippa Harris under Neal
Street Productions in association with NBCUniversal. The
first series aired in the United Kingdom in 2012. The first
series of films received positive reviews from critics. Ben
Whishaw and Simon Russell Beale won British Academy
Television Awards for Leading actor and Supporting actor
for their performances. Jeremy Irons was nominated for a
Screen Actors Guild Awards for Best Actor for his role as
Henry IV. The first episode, Richard II, was nominated
for the Best Single Drama at the BAFTAs.[3]
In March 2014, the BBC set a tentative airing date of
2016 for the concluding cycle of The Hollow Crown
subtitled The Wars of the Roses as a reference to the
scope of the series.[4] It will be produced by the same
team that made the first series of films and will be
directed by the former artistic director of Royal Court
Theatre and Olivier Award winner, Dominic Cooke.[5] It
will be based on Shakespeare's first tetralogy: Henry VI,
Part I with Henry VI, Part II, and Henry VI, Part III
condensed in one film and Richard III.[6] In April 2014,
BBC Two announced that Benedict Cumberbatch will
play King Richard III.[7]

stated, "The critical and audience reaction to The Hollow Crown series set the bar high for Shakespeare on
screen, and Neal Street (Productions) is delighted to be making the concluding part of this great History
cycle. By filming the Henry VI plays as well as Richard III, we will allow viewers to fully appreciate how
such a monstrous tyrant could find his way to power, bringing even more weight and depth to this iconic
character.[13]
