The Nevers
This new supernatural action fantasy is set in Victorian London, where the city is rocked by a bizarre event that gives certain people — chiefly women — extraordinary abilities that range from the wondrous to the deeply disturbing. No matter their particular gift, however, these individuals are stalked by brutal forces out to annihilate them. The series opens three years after that event, as police inspector Frank Mundi (Ben Chaplin) investigates a string of murders. Laura Donnelly, Ann Skelly and Amy Manson also star.
