Two episodes of The Essex Serpent will debut on May 13. The series is based on the best-selling Sarah Perry novel by the same name and follows the widow Cora Seaborne, who moves to Essex following her escape from an abusive marriage. Seaborne is drawn to the small village of Aldwinter in Essex, drawn by rumors of a mythical creature known as the Essex Serpent. Hiddlestone stars as Will Ransome, the leader of the small local community. Danes replaced Keira Knightley, who was originally set to play Seaborne.
Filming for the show began in March 2021 in the UK town of Maldon in Essex.
