Tom Hiddleston and Claire Danes Investigate a Mythical Creature in Trailer For THE ESSEX SERPENT

Apple TV+ has released the first trailer for its upcoming mini-series thriller The Essex Serpent, which is about the search for a mythical creature in 1883. The series is based on the book of the same name written by Sarah Perry, and it stars Claire Danes and Tom Hiddleston. It looks like a fantastic series that tells the kind of engaging story that I’d enjoy.

Here’s the synopsis for the series:

A widow, a village vicar, and a mythical beast… are the rumors true?" The Essex Serpent follows London widow Cora Seaborne (Danes) who moves to Essex to investigate reports of a mythical serpent. She forms a surprising bond of science and skepticism with the local pastor (Hiddleston), but when tragedy strikes, locals accuse her of attracting the creature.

The Essex Serpent series was created by Anna Symon and it also stars Frank Dillane, Clémence Poésy, Hayley Squires, Dixie Egerickx, Jamael Westman, and Michael Jibson. The series is set to premiere on Apple TV+ starting May 13th, 2022.
