The seven-part limited series, which stars Alycia Debnam-Carey and Alyla Browne as Alice, and Sigourney Weaver as June, is based on Holly Ringland's 2018 bestseller of the same name. It's a novel almost from a bygone era which intertwines the murky history of the Hart family with the gorgeous wildflowers they continually surround themselves with.

However, with terrible suffering comes the opportunity for Alice to break free of her grandmother's yoke and discover who she really is. Here's everything to know about how to watch The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart. Scroll down for the trailer.
