    Wait! No sh*t!! Ronni Hawk is still working?! I thought she got blackballed/"cancelled" (for something that appeared to me to be
    entirely made up and fictitious).

    This looks to be her first real role since 2022's "Girl With a Gun"
    (which I was disappointed by), so she looks to have been almost
    "cancelled" (IOW, unemployed for 3-4 years).

    Anyway, will record this for later viewing...

    https://www.mylifetime.com/movies/murder-at-the-derby

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt36631546/

    Wait! No sh*t!! Ronni Hawk is still working?! I thought she got
    blackballed/"cancelled" (for something that appeared to me to be
    entirely made up and fictitious).

    This looks to be her first real role since 2022's "Girl With a Gun"
    (which I was disappointed by), so she looks to have been almost
    "cancelled" (IOW, unemployed for 3-4 years).

    Anyway, will record this for later viewing...

    I've been watching it. I can confirm that it is six episodes. All six
    episodes adapt the third novel in the trilogy by Hilary Mantel which
    wasn't written till 2020. Alas she died of a stroke in 2022.

    There must have been complaints that the plot was hard to follow in the
    first series 10 years ago, six episodes adapting the first two novels.
    This time minor characters are explicitly discussing plot developments
    with each other and with Cromwell. I think it's unnecessary.
