HBO's 'The Nevers' Gets First Trailer & April Premiere Date

Rochelle Neil shows off her firestarter skills as Annie “Bonfire” Carby in the first trailer for HBO’s The Nevers.

The Regency-set series is set in August of 1896, where Victorian London is rocked to its foundations by a supernatural event which gives certain people – mostly women – abnormal abilities, from the wondrous to the disturbing.

But no matter their particular “turns,” all who belong to this new underclass are in grave danger.

It falls to mysterious, quick-fisted widow Amalia True (Laura Donnelly) and brilliant young inventor Penance Adair (Ann Skelly) to protect and shelter these gifted “orphans.”

To do so, they will have to face the brutal forces determined to annihilate their kind.

The rest of the cast includes Olivia Williams as Lavinia Bidlow; James Norton as Hugo Swann; Tom Riley as Augustus “Augie” Bidlow; Pip Torrens as Lord Gilbert Massen; Ben Chaplin as Inspector Frank Mundi; Denis O’Hare as Edmund Hague; Amy Manson as Maladie; Zackary Momoh as physician Horatio Cousens; Eleanor Tomlinson as Mary Brighton; Elizabeth Berrington as Lucy Best; Anna Devlin as Primrose Chattoway; Kiran Sonia Sawar (“HBO Max’s Pure”) as Harriet Kaur; Viola Prettejohn as Myrtle Haplisch; Ella Smith as Désireé Blodgett; Vinnie Heaven as Nimble Jack; and Nick Frost as Declan “Beggar King” Orrun.

The Nevers will premiere on April 11 on HBO.
