Rueben's Ramblings

The 7-part mini-series Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell will debut on BBC America on June 13 at 10 PM.

Eddie Marsan (Ray Donovan) and Bertie Carvel (Restless) will star in this mini-series that is set at the beginning of the 19th-century in an England where no one believes in practical magic. The reclusive Mr. Norrell (Marsan) of Hurtfew Abbey stuns the city of York when he causes the statues of York Cathedral to speak and move. With a little persuasion and help from his man of business Childermass (Enzo Cilenti), he goes to London to help the government in the war against Napoleon.

Here is a trailer for Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell:
