VIDEO : BBC Will Be Making A Six-Part 'Les Miserables' Miniseries

The BBC and The Weinstein Co. are teaming up to adapt Victor Hugo's classic novel "Les Miserables" into a six-part television miniseries. The TV event will be based on the novel itself rather than the popular 1980s musical that was turned into a film in 2012. This is the Weinstein Company's second collaboration with the BBC, following their adaptation of "War and Peace" starring Lily James and Paul Dano. The "Les Miserables" miniseries will debut on U.K. television first before airing in the U.S.
