The network shared a teaser trailer for the limited series Sunday featuring Olivia Colman.
Great Expectations is based on the Charles Dickens novel of the same name. The series tells the coming-of-age story of Pip, an orphan living in 19th century London.
The preview introduces Colman as Miss Havisham and shows her meeting the young Pip (Tom Sweet).
"What a prized creature we have fished from the river," she says.

Great Expectations hails from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, who previously adapted Dickens' book A Christmas Carol.
The new series will air on BBC One in the spring and stream on Hulu in the United States.
