First ‘Wuthering Heights’ Trailer Reveals Emerald Fennell’s Sensual Reimagining for Valentine’s 2026

The release strategy centers on a Valentine’s 2026 theatrical run after the team chose cinemas over a richer streaming bid.

Overview

  • Warner Bros. unveiled the first trailer and official poster for Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights, starring Margot Robbie as Catherine Earnshaw and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff.
  • The teaser leans into erotic, provocative imagery and features Charli XCX’s “Everything Is Romantic,” with the artist confirming she has written new original songs for the film.
  • The studio lists a global theatrical release on Feb. 13, 2026, while some outlets cite Feb. 14, reflecting a minor date discrepancy across reporting.
  • Fennell wrote, directed and produced the film, with financing from MRC and production by Robbie’s LuckyChap, following a 2024 bidding war in which an $80 million Warner Bros. deal beat a larger reported Netflix offer to secure a theatrical-first rollout.
  • Initial online reaction is divided and prior test-screening chatter described the film as aggressively provocative, while debate over Heathcliff’s casting has resurfaced and the casting director has defended the choice.
