Charles Dickens’ iconic ghost story A CHRISTMAS CAROL is getting the remake treatment once again – but wait! This time it's headed our way from Tom Hardy & Steven Knight and it looks to be a FULL HORROR re-telling starring Guy Pearce and Andy Serkis. Nice!

We recently shared the upcoming show's teaser trailer with you guys and today we have its full trailer. You can check out the new trailer above and the teaser trailer below. The FX original series is described as "a spine-tingling immersion into Ebenezer Scrooge’s dark night of the soul."

And for the one… wait for it… Scrooge who isn't familiar with the age-old tale of semi-terror, the plot goes a little something like this:

Though London awaits the joyful arrival of Christmas, miserly Ebenezer Scrooge thinks it's all humbug, berating his faithful clerk and cheerful nephew for their view. Later, Scrooge encounters the ghost of his late business partner, who warns that three spirits will visit him this night. The ghosts take Scrooge on a journey through his past, present, and future in the hope of transforming his bitterness.

All three episodes of this dark reimagining of the classic tale are directed by Nick Murphy and it's produced by FX Productions in association with the BBC, Scott Free and Tom Hardy’s Hardy Son & Baker. Nick Murphy directs all three episodes. It hits FX here in the states on December 19, 2020.
