From the creator of “Peaky Blinders” and the producers of “Taboo” comes the chilling new drama “A Christmas Carol,” playing up the darkest, spookiest aspects of the classic tale.
The BBC mini-series is set to arrive just in time for the holidays this December, described as “a haunting, hallucinatory, spine-tingling immersion into Scrooge’s dark night of the soul.”
Check out the trailer below, which suggests a horror-heavy adaptation of Charles Dickens’ novella. If this one wasn’t on your radar before, it damn sure should be now.
The cast includes Guy Pearce as Ebenezer Scrooge and Andy Serkis as the Ghost of Christmas Past, along with Stephen Graham, Joe Alwyn, Charlotte Riley and Vinette Robinson.
Ridley Scott and Tom Hardy exec produced, and Nick Murphy directed all three episodes.
“A Christmas Carol” is coming to BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
