The first official look at the miniseries for J.K. Rowling's novel,
The Casual Vacancy, was released earlier this week by the BBC, who will be broadcasting the saga sometime in 2015 in the U.K. HBO will air the series in the United States next year as well.
The first promo, seen below, features actresses Julia McKenzie and Keeley Hawes as Shirley Mollison and Samantha Mollison, respectively, at a function in the fictional English town of Pagford.
Harry Potter alum Sir Michael Gambon also stars as Howard Mollison.
