BBC to Launch 'The Other Bennet Sister' Series Spotlighting Mary Bennet

The new adaptation, based on Janice Hadlow's novel, offers a fresh perspective on the often-overlooked sister from Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice.'

The series is a ten-part drama produced by Bad Wolf and written by Sarah Quintrell, known for her work on 'The Power.'
Mary Bennet, the awkward and anxious middle sister, will be the focus, breaking away from typical period drama heroines.
The adaptation coincides with the 30th anniversary of the BBC's iconic 'Pride and Prejudice' miniseries.
The show will explore Mary's journey from her family's home to Regency London and the Lake District as she seeks independence and love.
Casting details are yet to be announced, but the series is set to air on BBC iPlayer and BBC One.
