Peacock's official description: When tragedy strikes and his son Hamnet dies at a young age, William Shakespeare is inspired to write his timeless masterpiece, Hamlet.

Jessie Buckley took home the Best Actress Oscar for her portrayal of Agnes, William Shakespeare’s wife, in Hamnet. "I love love. Love is worth it," Buckley told ELLE about the film's themes. "What else are you going to do? Lock yourself away? I think you’ve got to live. Hamnet, even though he dies, lives on. Shakespeare has made something immortal in some way and created a way for this story, this son, this thing that happened in his life to be bigger than the moment. Maybe we have to live like that."
