Anthony Boyle, Sean Bean Arthur Hughes interviewed for Disney+'s 'Shardlake', starring Arthur Hughes, Anthony Boyle, Sean Bean, Ruby Ashbourne Serkis and Babou Ceesay. It is based on the internationally popular Tudor murder mystery novels by C.J. Sansom.

Plot: Arthur Hughes (“Then Barbara Met Alan'') plays Matthew Shardlake, a lawyer with an acute sense of justice and one of the few honest men in a world beset with scheming and plots. Shardlake works for Thomas Cromwell, played by Sean Bean (“Time”) the dangerous and all-powerful right-hand man to Henry VIII. Despite Shardlake’s unwavering loyalty to Cromwell and the Crown, his position in society is unfavoured due to his appearance, as a person living with scoliosis during the Tudor period, suffering the indignity of being abused as a “crookback” wherever he turns. Anthony Boyle (“Masters of the Air”) plays the cocky and good-looking Jack Barak, who leaves Shardlake unsure of whether he is an assistant, or Cromwell’s spy.

Linda Marric asks the questions.

Shardlake will air on 1st May, exclusively on Disney+
