VIDEO: First Look - AMC's New Scripted Drama TURN, Coming This Spring

AMC has released the first official trailer for their upcoming scripted drama TURN, premiering spring 2014. Get a first look below!

The spy thriller, set during the American Revolutionary War, is based on  new research featured in the  Alexander Rose's book "Washington's Spies." The series centers on Abe Woodhull (Jamie Bell), a farmer living behind enemy lines in British-occupied Long Island, who bands together with a group of childhood friends to form The Culper Ring, an unlikely team of secret agents who would help turn the tide of the war in favor of the Rebels. Their daring efforts also revolutionized the art of espionage, giving birth to modern tradecraft as we know it today, along with all of the moral complexity that entails.

The series also stars Seth Numrich ("The Good Wife") as Ben Talmadge, Daniel Henshall (The Snowtown Murders) as Caleb, Heather Lind ("Boardwalk Empire") as Anna Strong, Meegan Warner as Mary Woodhull, Kevin McNally (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) as Judge Richard Woodhull, Burn Gorman (The Dark Knight Rises) as Major Hewlett, Angus MacFadyen (Braveheart) as Robert Rogers, JJ Field (Captain America: The First Avenger) as Major John Andre and Samuel Roukin (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part I) as Captain Simcoe. 

From AMC Studios, "Turn" was developed and written by Craig Silverstein ("Nikita") who also serves as series showrunner. The pilot was directed by Rupert Wyatt (Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes). Barry Josephson ("Bones," Enchanted) from Josephson Entertainment is executive producer.
