First Trailer for Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights Sets Valentine’s 2026 Release

The teaser signals a sexually charged reinterpretation that has prompted fresh debate over casting choices.

Overview

  • Warner Bros. released the first look on September 3, confirming a February 13–14, 2026 theatrical rollout.
  • Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi star as Catherine and Heathcliff, joined by Hong Chau, Alison Oliver, Shazad Latif and Owen Cooper.
  • Charli XCX provides new original songs featured in the promo, which uses the tagline “drive me mad.”
  • Reports from an August test screening described explicit, provocative content with reactions labeled mixed, and online response to the teaser echoed that split.
  • Questions over representation resurfaced with Elordi’s casting as Heathcliff, which casting director Karmel Cochrane previously defended as an artistic choice after earlier backlash.
