HBO has released a new trailer for JK Rowling's miniseries The Casual Vacancy.



BBC One premiered the adaptation of Rowling's 2012 novel in the UK earlier this year, and now it is coming to the US.

The Casual Vacancy chronicles the tension that is boiling beneath the surface in the seemingly-idyllic English village of Pagford.

An all-star cast includes BAFTA winner Sir Michael Gambon, Bond franchise star Rory Kinnear, Line of Duty's Keeley Hawes and West End veteran Julia McKenzie.

Rowling has praised the adaptation of her novel to the small screen, revealing that she cried while watching the BBC series.

EastEnders and The Crimson Field writer Sarah Phelps adapted The Casual Vacancy for the BBC and HBO.

The Casual Vacancy premieres on HBO on Sunday, April 29.
