A new 'Great Expectations' teaser reveals a battle between love and chaos.
We have some lofty hopes for Great Expectations and thanks to a new teaser released today, it looks like Hulu’s mini-series adaptation of the classic tale will be even better than expected. Stepping back to a time period that she’s very comfortable with, Olivia Colman will play the noble Miss Havisham. A woman who enjoys relishing in the pain and suffering of others, Miss Havisham plucks an orphaned boy named Pip out of his low-brow surroundings and drops him in the dangerous streets of London.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Today’s teaser gives us a better look at Colman’s ghastly transformation into the sinister Miss Havisham. With pale skin and rotten teeth, the Heartstopper actress is drumming up memories of her Academy Award-winning role in Yargos Lanthimos’ The Favourite.
The latest reimagining of Charles Dickens’s timeless classic, Great Expectations comes to audiences from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight. The series also boasts a knock-out team of executive producers with Peaky Blinders alum and Venom star Tom Hardy and Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Ridley Scott teaming up alongside Dean Baker, David W. Zucker, and Kate Crow.
RELATED: A Guide to March’s Exciting New TV Shows, From ‘Great Expectations’ to ‘Daisy Jones and the Six' It’s been a wild ride for fans of period dramas this year with Starz’s series reimagining of Dangerous Liaisons quickly coming and going. What the network pegged as an obvious hit, even giving the green light to a second season before the first season’s premiere, was crushed by abysmal reviews which led Starz to backtrack and cancel the production. Meanwhile, Canal+ announced that their historical period drama Marie Antoinette would be making a comeback for a second season.
