Under the great expectations placed upon him, Pip will have to work out the true cost of this new world and whether it will truly make him the man he wishes to be. Great Expectations is the coming-of-age story of 'Pip,' an orphan who yearns for a greater lot in life, until a twist of fate and the evil machinations of the mysterious and eccentric 'Miss Havisham' shows him a dark world of possibilities.

Entangled in Miss Havisham's bitter web are memorable elements from the tale including the decaying Satis House, clocks stopped at 20 minutes to nine, as well as the prison ship and manacles that led Magwitch to Pip, thus beginning the story of Dickens' beloved Great Expectations. The newly released key art, true to FX and Steven Knight's style, features one of literature's most iconic characters, Miss Havisham ensnaring her pawns, Pip and Estella, in the headdress she still wears from her wedding that never was. Internationally, it will be available to stream on Star+ in Latin America and on Disney+ under the Star banner at a later date. Great Expectations is produced in association with the BBC who will air the series in the UK. The six-part series from FX and BBC will premiere Sunday, March 26 exclusively on Hulu in the U.S. The series' key art was also released today.
