Neverland, Syfy's original miniseries featuring Oscar nominee Keira Knightley as the voice of Tinker Bell, will premiere this December as part of the network's second annual Countdown to Christmas Week, Syfy confirms exclusively to E!

The live-action Peter Pan prequel follows the adventures of young pickpocketer Peter (Charlie Rowe) from Dickensian London to the pirate-infested Caribbean and the mysterious realm of Neverland. Along the way he must contend with artful dodger James Hook (Rhys Ifans, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Notting Hill) and pirate captain Elizabeth Bonny (Pushing Daisies' Anna Friel). Oscar nominee Bob Hoskins and Raoul Trujillo (Tin Man) also star in the origin story based on J.M. Barrie's classic character.

Syfy's Countdown to Christmas Week will also include holiday-themed episodes of Eureka, Warehouse 13, Haven and Ghost Hunters, plus a new Saturday original movie based on a catastrophe-predicting snow globe currently titled—wait for it!—Snowmageddon.
