The Hollow Crown
Henry IV, Pt. 1
S1 E2:
From executive producer Sam Mendes comes The Hollow Crown, stunning adaptations of four of Shakespeare’s most treasured plays featuring all-star casts. In Henry IV, Part 1, King Henry IV (Academy Award-winner Jeremy Irons) sees his reign marred by uprisings led by young Harry Hotspur and undercut by the impulsive, irresponsible actions of his son Prince Hal (Tom Hiddleston of The Avengers). As the stakes get even higher, both sides converge in the epic battle of Shrewsbury.
