The Other Bennet Sister series and special release

Overview

The period drama series ‘The Other Bennet Sister’, a contemporary reinterpretation of Jane Austen’s literary universe, is scheduled to premiere on Sky and NOW on September 26, 2026. Produced by Bad Wolf for BBC One, the ten-episode series focuses on Mary Bennet as she seeks independence and self-reinvention while traveling from Regency London to the Lake District.

Following the initial series, BritBox has announced a three-part Christmas special.
