SHARDLAKE, based on the novels by C.J Sansom, is now in production.

Arthur Hughes and Sean Bean are set to lead this Disney Plus Tudor mystery. The new four-part series is currently filming in Hungary, Austria and Romania and will be based on the popular murder mystery novels by Sansom. The series is produced by Forge Entertainment. 

In the series, Hughes will play 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. Meanwhile, Bean will play Thomas Cromwell, Shardlake's employer and the dangerous and all-powerful right-hand man to Henry VIII. Shardlake has unwavering loyalty to Cromwell and the Crown, but as a person living with scoliosis during the Tudor period he is abused as a 'crookback' wherever he turns.
