Watch the First Trailer for Jenna Coleman Drama ‘The Cry’

The BBC released its first trailer for upcoming, presumably heart-wrenching drama The Cry starring Victoria’s Jenna Coleman.

The four-part series is based on a 2013 novel by Helen FitzGerald, and follows the story of a young couple whose baby is abducted while on a trip to a rural Australian town. Coleman, trading in her recent royal robes for a more contemporary part, will play grieving young mother Johanna. She and her husband Alistair (played by Ewan Leslie) must struggle to keep their family together in the face of unimaginable loss amid intense public scrutiny.

And if the trailer is any indication, they’re not exactly doing the best job of it.
