Lewis famously played Hogwarts student Neville Longbottom in all eight Harry Potter film adaptations. He’ll be donning a different kind of robe for Murder Before Evensong, however, as witnessed in the recently released trailer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Set in 1980s England, the drama follows Canon Daniel Clement (Lewis), the Rector of the fictional village of Champton, where he enjoys a peaceful existence alongside his widowed mother Audrey (Amanda Redman) and two dachshunds.<\/p>\n

However, when Daniel announces plans to modernise the church, the parish is suddenly divided. Things become even more complicated when a dead body is discovered at the church, and Daniel soon finds himself entangled in a murder investigation.<\/p>\n

“As the police move in and the bodies start piling up, Daniel is the only one who can try and keep his fractured community together\u2026 and catch a killer,” the official synopsis reads.<\/p>\n
