AMC has exclusively passed along this little teaser of Jim Caviezel and Ian McKellen in their six-part miniseries remake of The Prisoner, which debuts on Nov. 15.

In "Fear," a 30-second preview clip, Six (Caviezel) and Two (McKellen) talk about the relationship between fear and guilt, as Six investigates the extent to which he's being watched.

Although it's brief, already here we get a glimpse of how Six will get sucked into the psychological horror of realizing that his everyday life is a sham—that he is in fact a prisoner, without knowing how, or why. These production stills, in addition to Caviezel and McKellen, also include Jamie Campbell Bower (Sweeney Todd, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows). So far, so good. McKellen has a flair for circumspect villainy, and I'm looking forward to seeing how he toys with poor Six.

The Prisoner premieres on Sun., Nov. 15. It will air over three consecutive nights, with two episodes each evening.
