AMC+ has unveiled the first trailer for The North Water, a new drama series starring Jack O’Connell and Colin Farrell that has been sailing under the radar but looks absolutely stunning all the same.

The North Water is a five-part limited series based on Ian McGuire‘s bestselling novel of the same name. Set in Hull, England, and on the ice floes of the Arctic in the late 1850s, the immersive drama follows Patrick Sumner (O’Connell), a disgraced former army surgeon who embarks on a whaling expedition with a brutal harpooner by the name of Henry Drax (Farrell).

Stephen Graham (Boardwalk Empire) co-stars in The North Water, which hails from writer-director Andrew Haigh (Weekend), who created the miniseries. The show was produced by See-Saw Films and Rhombus Media and was shot on the frozen seas north of the Svalbard Archipelago — the furthest point north (81 degrees) it is believed a drama series has ever been filmed before.
