New trailer for the BBC and FX’s Black Narcissus starring Gemma Arterton

October 28, 2020 by Amie Cranswick

FX has released a new trailer for the small screen adaptation of Rumer Godden’s 1939 novel Black Narcissus. The limited drama series follows a group of young nuns as they attempt to establish a mission in a remote and haunting palace in the Himalayas and features a cast that includes Gemma Arterton, Alessandro Nivola, Aisling Franciosi, Jim Broadbent and the late Diana Rigg; watch the trailer here…

“During the latter years of British rule in India, ambitious young nun Sister Clodagh heads a mission to a remote part of the Himalayas. The palace of Mopu has been donated by General Toda Rai, who hopes the Sisters of St. Faith will rid the ‘House of Women’ of unhappy memories connected to his late sister, Srimati. Although Clodagh ignores the warnings of the General’s raffish agent Mr. Dean, isolation and illness soon take their toll, with the haunting atmosphere of the palace particularly affecting volatile Sister Ruth. As past and present collide, the arrival of the young General Dilip Rai is the catalyst for an explosion of repressed desires that may end in a fatal confrontation.”

Black Narcissus premieres on FX on November 23rd and in December on the BBC.
