The palace homes many dark secrets. <a href="https://collider.com/black-narcissus-trailer-fx-bbc-gemma-arterton/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Collider</a> said this about the new series:</p><blockquote><em>"During the latter years of British rule in India, ambitious young nun Sister Clodagh heads a mission to a remote part of the Himalayas. The palace of Mopu has been donated by General Toda Rai, who hopes the Sisters of St. Faith will rid the "House of Women" of unhappy memories connected to his late sister, Srimati. Although Clodagh ignores the warnings of the General's raffish agent Mr. Dean, isolation and illness soon take their toll, with the haunting atmosphere of the palace particularly affecting volatile Sister Ruth. As past and present collide, the arrival of the young General Dilip Rai is the catalyst for an explosion of repressed desires that may end in a fatal confrontation."<br></em></blockquote><p>FX also released a new poster for the series. </p>
