The Other Bennet Sister Fans Have More Jane Austen Adaptations To Enjoy Later In 2026

More of Jane Austen's beloved stories are coming to a screen near you in the not-too-distant future.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that, almost as often as writers pinch Jane Austen’s most famous opening line, new adaptations must join the already hefty pile.

And this is especially true at the present moment, after last year marked the 250th anniversary of Austen’s birth. While most of us settle for a bottle of pinot down the pub, for Austen, the celebrations of her semiquincentennial include a fresh Hollywood movie and the Netflix treatment for a fan-favourite novel.

The latest spin on Austen’s work is the new BBC series The Other Bennet Sister, which taps into the POV of the sidelined Pride & Prejudice sister, Mary.
