The Nevers Official Trailer: A Touch of Power Can Change the World

With less than three weeks to go until HBO and new series showrunner Philippa Goslett's (Little Ashes, Mary Magdalene) sci-fi, fantasy, action/drama The Nevers finally graces our screens, viewers are getting more than just an introduction to characters such as Rochelle Neil's (Death in Paradise) Annie Carbey aka Bonfire and Laura Donnelly's (Outlander) Amalia True. This time around, it's the first official trailer that offers a much better look at the series' backstory and main narrative. On, and a ton of amazing, Victorian-era action.

Here's a look at the official trailer for HBO's The Nevers, set to hit screens on April 11- followed by an overview of what we know about the series so far:

Victorian London is rocked to its foundations by a supernatural event that 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.
