So when he crosses paths with a young woman from New England, his entire world is threatened for Vic McQueen (played by Australian actress Ashleigh Cummings) has a dangerous gift - she can find lost things by riding her bike across a strange bridge.

The ten-episode series is produced by AMC Studios in association with Tornante Television. The show will be under the primary purview of showrunner Jami O'Brien ('Fear the Walking Dead' alumnus) and will be executive produced by Lauren Corrao, Co-President of Tornante Television. Hill lauded O'Brien in an April statement, saying: “Her beautifully composed scripts show a writer at the height of her powers, one who has an exquisite touch with character and a relentless instinct for suspense.”
Trailers:
AMC's trailer for 'NOS4A2' is as creepy as it gets. The show is based on Joe Hill's 2013 book of the same name.
The creepy trailer to 'NOS4A2' introduces us to the evil Charlie Manx who kidnaps children to take them to a supernatural place called Christmasland - a place from his imagination where he feeds off their souls and corrupts them. The trailer also shows us where the series gets its title - Quinto's Charlie Manx drives a 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith with the vanity plate, NOS4A2.
We're keen to see how Vic takes over Charlie Manx and puts his imaginative and cruel Christmasland to an end.

The show will air on AMC.
