The upcoming Apple TV+ show will reach our screens on May 13 and is based on the novel of the same name by Sarah Perry.
“The Essex Serpent” follows London widow Cora Seaborne (Claire Danes) who moves to Essex to investigate reports of a mythical serpent. She forms an unlikely bond with the village vicar (Tom Hiddleston), but when tragedy strikes, locals accuse her of attracting the creature. Based on the novel by Sarah Perry.
Oddly, Apple TV+ is yet to share a trailer for the new show. But the names involved are surely enough to pique the interest.
Something dark is in the depths. #ClaireDanes and @twhiddleston meet for a mysterious Victorian romance.
