From the network that brought TV hits such as "Doctor Who", "Orphan Black", and "Sherlock" comes Susanna Clarke's best-selling historical novel "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell".

The upcoming TV adaptation is ready for its television debut, according to BBC America. The seven-part miniseries, starring Eddie Marsan as Mr. Norell, and Bertie Carvel as Jonathan Strange, is scheduled to be shown on June 13.

Set in 19th century England in the middle of the Napoleonic wars, in a time when people no longer believe in magic and fantasy, a reclusive master magician by the name of Mr. Norrell comes out of hiding to dazzle and revive people's wonder and belief in magic. But just as Mr. Norell had used his magic tricks to scare off the French army, he is soon challenged by a young and ambitious novice magician, Jonathan Strange.

The series will finally make its TV premiere, much to the delight of the book's fans. After almost two years since BBC's announcement of the upcoming series, fans are eager to see Peter Harness' adaptation of the novel. Harness also wrote the screenplay of another BBC hit "Doctor Who". The series is directed by no less than "Sherlock" director Toby Haynes.

In another article released by BBC, Controller of Drama Commissioning, Ben Stephenson says that the TV series "cements" the network's "bold and ambitious" lineup of shows.

The show's leading actors have also expressed their excitement in playing the titular roles. "I can't wait to start playing Norrell in this terrific adaptation of Susanna Clarke's novel, and to be working with such a cast of actors, many of whom I've admired for so long," Eddie Marsan said.

Bertie Carvel also displayed enthusiasm for the series, saying, "I read the book some years ago and was totally enchanted. I've been casting spells for the part of Strange ever since. It is a considerable surprise to find that some of them worked!"

The upcoming series also stars Nick Hirschkorn as The Gentleman, Samuel West as Sir Walter Pole, Enzo Cilenti as Childermass, and Ariyon Bakare as Stephen Black.

Based on the series' trailer, audiences can expect action and suspense, mixed with fantasy and history in this new and engaging show. The vibrant costumes and dark set also add mystery to the episodes.

Susanna Clarke's popular debut novel, published in 2004, was received well by critics and fellow authors, alike. It went on to be part of the New York Times' Best-seller's list for eleven weeks and won the 2004 Best Novel of the Year award from Time Magazine.
