2022 | New Year / New Seasons

Literature’s most famous race against the calendar comes to Masterpiece in a fresh adaptation of Jules Verne’s classic novel, Around the World in 80 Days. David Tennant stars as Phileas Fogg, the Englishman who bets a fortune that he can circumnavigate the planet in a mere 80 days — quite a feat, considering that it’s 1872. Ibrahim Koma and Leonie Benesch costar as Fogg’s traveling companions, the intrepid Passepartout and journalist Abigail “Fix” Fortescue. It’s a wild ride with exotic locations, locomotives, hot air balloons, sailing ships, camels, humor, romance, intrigue and much more for adventurers of all ages. (Total of eight episodes.)
