The BBC has released first-look images for the upcoming three-part Christmas special of ‘The Other Bennet Sister’. The production, which recently wrapped in Wales, serves as a spinoff of Jane Austen’s ‘Pride and Prejudice’, focusing on the character of Mary Bennet.

The special follows Mary (Ella Bruccoleri) and Tom Hayward (Dónal Finn) as they navigate married life. According to the official synopsis, Mary faces a new identity as Mrs. Hayward, only to be interrupted by an unexpected visitor from her past.

Returning cast members include Ruth Jones as Mrs. Bennet, Tanya Reynolds as Caroline Bingley, and Laurie Davidson as Mr. Ryder. Nerys Amber Stocks joins the cast as the Haywards’ housekeeper, Lucy. The series, produced by Bad Wolf, previously saw significant viewership success, breaking records on BritBox and drawing millions of viewers on the BBC.

While a specific release date has not been announced, the special is expected to air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the United Kingdom, and on BritBox in the United States and Canada.
