While checking out the fall lineup, I discovered that THE MINIATURIST, adapted from Jessie Burton's internationally best-selling novel of the same name, premiers this Sunday, September 9 at 9/8c. Here is the description from the PBS Masterpiece website:
"In 1686, 18-year-old Nella Oortman (Anya Taylor-Joy, Split, The Witch) arrives in Amsterdam to meet her wealthy merchant husband Johannes Brandt (Alex Hassell, Genius: Picasso), but is instead met by his sister Marin (Romola Garai, Churchill’s Secret, The Hour). When Johannes appears, he presents her with a wedding gift: a cabinet that is a miniature replica of their home, to be furnished by an elusive Miniaturist, whose tiny creations mirror what is happening within the house in unexpected ways and seem to be predicting and unraveling the future with unsettling precision.As Nella begins to uncover its secrets and those of the Brandt household she realizes the escalating dangers that await them all. Does the Miniaturist hold their fate in her hands? And will she be the key to their salvation or the architect of their downfall?"
I haven't read the book, but this sounds fascinating and I'll be recording it to watch later. Did you read the book? Will you be tuning in?
