It's been a decade since Wolf Hall first graced our screens. In the intervening years, we've seen plenty of takes on Tudor England, from the somewhat faithful (Becoming Elizabeth) to the stridently feminist (The White Princess, The Spanish Princess, Firebrand) and the downright fantastical (My Lady
Freeform
Cable network Freeform is not exactly known as a destination for Anglophile-friendly fare.

Given the state of... well, pretty much everything at the moment, we can probably all use a heartwarming movie that co-stars an adorable animal. If that's the case, mark your calendars for the release of The Penguin Lessons, a fan favorite from last year's Toronto International
