The first full-length trailer for the BBC's new adaptation of Great Expectations has been released. Oscar-winning actress Olivia Colman plays Miss Havisham in the hotly-anticipated series.
She leads an impressive cast that also includes Dunkirk actor Fionn Whitehead and Our Girl star Shalom Brune-Franklin. Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight has written the series, which is his second Charles Dickens adaptation after enjoying success with his interpretation of A Christmas Carol in 2019.
The story follows the story of an orphan nicknamed Pip, played by Whitehead, who falls in love with an upper class young woman called Estella. Pip's social rise is accompanied by an emotional and moral deterioration as the story progresses.
