Picnic At Hanging Rock Trailer
This looks promising, but I’m still cautious. Here’s my biggest concern with this: the novel, and Weir’s film, are deliberately vague.

I don’t know if this new take on the story tacks on a needless conclusion to appeal to modern audiences, but I certainly hope not. Here’s the trailer for the original film, just in case you want to compare.

Picnic at Hanging Rock is a gripping reimagining of the Australian novel that plunges into the mysterious disappearance of three schoolgirls and their governess. Starring Natalie Dormer as the enigmatic headmistress of Appleyard College, the six episode limited series follows the subsequent investigation and the event’s far-reaching impact on the students and staff of the college.
