As a seasoned gamer with a deep affection for period dramas, I must say, the announcement of The Other Bennet Sister has piqued my interest! Being an ardent fan of Jane Austen and the 1995 Pride and Prejudice adaptation, I am excited to delve into the life of Mary Bennet, a character often overshadowed by her more flamboyant sisters.
The BBC has announced a new Pride and Prejudice TV spin-off, The Other Bennet Sister.
The upcoming 10-part miniseries will focus on Mary Bennet, the often-overlooked middle sister from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. This series, titled “Another Bennet Sister,” is inspired by Janice Hadlow’s 2020 novel of the same name.
In Pride and Prejudice, it’s Elizabeth who takes center stage as the leading character, whereas Mary plays a supporting role.
What to Expect in The Other Bennet Sister?
In contrast to her sisters, Mary Bennet is not your usual heroine in a period drama. She’s clumsy, anxious, prone to lecturing, out of tune when she sings, neglected by her mother, and seemingly doomed to an unfulfilled social life. However, when Mary decides to take control of her own destiny, she embarks on an adventure that takes her from the comforts of Meryton to the high society events of Regency London and the scenic Lake District. Along this journey, she seeks independence, love, and, most importantly, self-love and acceptance – all themes explored in “The Other Bennet Sister.
Sarah Quintrell, known from “The Power”, is set to script and oversee production of the series “The Other Bennet Sister”. Quintrell expressed her excitement about sharing this captivating tale on-screen, particularly for fans who identify with the character of Mary.
Production company Bad Wolf, known for hits like Industry and recent Doctor Who episodes, is set to create The Other Bennet Sister for both BBC iPlayer and BBC One. The executive producers on this project are Hadlow, Kate Crowther, Becca Kinder, Jane Tranter, and Rebecca Ferguson.
1995 saw the broadcast on BBC of a six-episode television rendition of Pride and Prejudice. Jennifer Ehle portrayed Elizabeth Bennet, with Colin Firth in the role of Mr. Darcy. This widely acclaimed series is often hailed as one of the finest adaptations of an Austen novel.
