James McAvoy Leads a Star-Studded Rabbit Rebellion in the First Trailer for Watership Down

Links 1 Min Read

It’s a tale of survival, pain, and the unyielding power of hope that rings just as true now as it did almost half a century ago. The first trailer for BBC One’s Watership Down is here, boasting an A-level cast and a powerful message about doing whatever it takes to seek a better life.

Based on the novel by Richard Adams, the four-part miniseries (in the works for a few years now) stars X-Men: First Class actors James McAvoy and Nicholas Hoult as Hazel and Fiver, two brothers who lead a group of rabbits in search of a new home, or warren, after one of them gets a vision that their current one will be destroyed by humans.

The group faces numerous trials along the way to finding their new warren of Watership Down, including attacks from predators and farmers…as well as a rising threat from a dystopian warren led by a totalitarian.
