War Of The Worlds: BBC Unveils First Trailer For Rafe Spall-Fronted Reboot Of H.G. Wells Classic

The BBC has unveiled the first trailer for its reboot of H.G. Wells classic War of the Worlds starring The Big Shorts Rafe Spall and Poldarks Eleanor Tomlinson.

The pair star in the BBC One series, which is produced by ITV-owned Mammoth Screen, alongside Trainspottings Robert Carlyle and Sherlocks Rupert Graves.

The series, which filmed in Liverpol, was adapted by Wallanders Peter Harness and directed by Craig Viveiros (And Then There Were None). It airs later this autumn.

Produced by Betsan Morris Evans (The City & The City), the series is the first adaptation set in Edwardian England, rather than America, and follows George, played by Spall, and his partner Amy, played by Tomlinson as they attempt to defy society and start a life together against the escalating terror of an alien invasion.
