Keira Knightley meets the mythical serpent

Image It seems that Keira Knightley has taken to conquering small screens in earnest. A couple of months ago, the two-time Oscar nominee agreed to take part in the filming of the thriller The Other Typist for the online service Hulu, and now the actress has decided to work with Apple + as well. Knightley will star in The Essex Serpent *, based on Sarah Perry's novel of the same name.

The story is set in 1893. Cora was recently widowed, but thus fate saved her from a marriage that could hardly be called happy. From Victorian London, the main character moves to Essex, where her attention is attracted by the local superstition that the mythical creature known as the Essex Serpent has returned to this place.

Knightley will play the main role in the series, and will also take on the functions of the executive producer of the project. The historical drama is directed by Cleo Barnard ("Dark River"), and the script came from the hands of Anna Simon ("Mrs. Wilson"). The start date of filming for the show has yet to be announced.

* - preliminary translation.
