OMG. I'm super excited.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED the first mini-series, but I can't be too excited for this second series until I hear more about the actors involved. What made Pillars of the Earth so brilliant was the amazing cast of Ian McShane, Rufus Sewell, Mathew MacFadyen, Hayley Atwell, and Natalie Worner.
ReplyDeletePillars was one of the best things about tv last year. So this is good news. So Starz isn't involved?
