Commuters were transported back in time today Laura Donnelly (Outlander), Ann Skelly (Vikings), James Norton (Grantchester) and Zackary Momoh (Seven Seconds) took a Victorian style car for a drive in London.
The actors took a spin down the Southbank in the Victorian era racer to mark the arrival of the new TV show The Nevers. City workers and cyclists looked on in surprise as the cast sped through the city testing out the prop from the series.
The cast were in town to launch the new drama The Nevers which airs on Sky Atlantic and streaming service NOW from 17 May. The drama, set in the Victorian era, focus on a group of women who find themselves with unusual abilities following a supernatural phenomenon.
The eagerly anticipated show, starring the aforementioned cast alongside Nick Frost and Eleanor Tomlinson, is set in Victorian London, which is rocked to its foundations by a supernatural event which gives certain people – mostly women – abnormal abilities, from the wondrous to the disturbing. But no matter their particular “turns,” all who belong to this new underclass are in grave danger. It falls to mysterious, quick-fisted widow Amalia True (Laura Donnelly) and brilliant young inventor Penance Adair (Ann Skelly) to protect and shelter these gifted “orphans.” To do so, they will have to face the brutal forces determined to annihilate their kind.
The Nevers is available from 17 May on Sky Atlantic and streaming service NOW
