Based on The New York Times bestselling novel by Susanna Clarke and adapted by Peter Harness, this seven-part series is set at the beginning of the 19th-century, when England no longer believes in practical magic. The reclusive Mr Norrell of Hurtfew Abbey stuns the city of York when he causes the statues of York Cathedral to speak and move. With a little persuasion and help from his man of business Childermass, he goes to London to help the government in the war against Napoleon. It is there Norrell summons a fairy to bring Lady Pole back from the dead, opening a whole can of worms.

Cast includes Eddie Marsan, Bertie Carvel, Alice Englert, Marc Warren, Samuel West, Charlotte Riley

The series is produced by Cuba Pictures for BBC One and co-produced with BBC America, in association with Feel Films, Far Moor, Screen Yorkshire and Bell Media's SPACE. It is distributed by Endemol Worldwide Distribution.
