Thrilling Trailer For Natalie Dormer's Mystery Drama Series PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK
Amazon Studios has released the first trailer for their upcoming mystery drama series Picnic at Hanging Rock. The six-part miniseries stars Natalie Dormer (Game of Thrones, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Parts 1 and 2), and it looks like a great series for her to be a part of!
The series is based on Joan Lindsay’s iconic Australian novel of the same name and the story centers on the mysterious disappearances of three schoolgirls and one teacher on Valentine’s Day in 1900.
The series revolves around the subsequent investigation and the event’s far-reaching impact on the students, families and staff at Appleyard College, and on the nearby township.
Dormer plays Mrs. Hester Appleyard, the enigmatic headmistress of Appleyard College, a boarding school that she established for young ladies isolated in Australian bushland. The actresses starring alongside Dormer as the three students who mysteriously vanish include Samara Weaving (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, The Babysitter) as Irma Leopold, a Rothschild heiress; Madeleine Madden (Tomorrow When The War Began, High Life) as Marion Quade, daughter of a high court Justice; and Lily Sullivan (Camp, Jungle) as Miranda Reid, the rebellious tomboy who grew up with four brothers on a cattle station. It's explained that these girls "have a strong bond and together resist the edicts of society."
The series already premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival where it received critical acclaim. I like what I'm seeing in this trailer and I love a good mystery story. This one looks fascinating. Check out the trailer and tell us what you think.
The series is set to premiere on Amazon on May 25th.
