Pillars of the Earth covers 1135-74 while World Without End starts in 1327 and goes to 1361. I found the Pillars of the Earth miniseries tolerable (if only because Ian McShane had a lead role). But I barely got through the first episode of World Without End . Too trite and formulaic, and no actors of McShanes's stature to carry it.

I'm guessing it's a squeal in the sense its set in the same world but has nothing to do with the story from Pillars since if I remember right Pillars had a conclusion.
Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon (as Petranilla) and Oscar nominees Miranda Richardson (as Mother Cecilia) and Peter Firth (as Earl Roland) have joined the cast of the epic limited series World Without End, the sequel to Pillars of the Earth.
Production is set to begin on Monday, July 11 (Hungary, Austria & Slovakia).
I don't know if I said it, but, this miniseries was easily my favorite of the entire year. WAY better storyline than The Pacific....come to think of it, with the exception of the special effects, sets and sound, Pillars was better all around, and I wish it played out John Builder's storyline even more.
