Announced a couple years ago, EPIX is adapting Stephen King‘s prequel story “Jerusalem’s Lot,” published in 1978 and featuring the fictional town King introduced a few years prior in the novel Salem’s Lot. That series is titled “Chapelwaite,” and Vanity Fair brings us a first look today including a gallery of images along with a short 30-second teaser trailer.

Oscar-winner Adrien Brody stars in the EPIX series as Captain Charles Boone, alongside Emily Hampshire (“Schitt’s Creek”), who will be playing new character Rebecca Morgan.

The 10-episode series is set to premiere on EPIX this August. You can check out some images below, and be sure to head over to Vanity Fair to learn and see much, much more.

Here’s the plot synopsis we were previously provided with….

“The series is set in the 1850s. It follows Captain Charles Boone (Brody), who relocates his family of three children to his ancestral home in the small, seemingly sleepy town of Preacher’s Corners, Maine after his wife dies at sea. However, Charles will soon have to confront the secrets of his family’s sordid history, and fight to end the darkness that has plagued the Boones for generations.”

“Hampshire will play Rebecca Morgan, an ambitious young woman who left Preacher’s Corners to attend Mount Holyoke College, and has returned home with an advance to write a story for the new and prestigious Atlantic Magazine. Her writer’s block lifts when Boone arrives in town with his children, and despite her mother’s protests, Rebecca applies to be governess of the infamous Chapelwaite manor and the Boone family in order to write about them. In doing so, Rebecca will not only craft the next great gothic novel, she’ll unravel a mystery that has plagued her own family for years.”

Peter Filardi and Jason Filardi are scripting, exec producing and serving as show-runners.
