Overview

• Call the Midwife Ella Bruccoleri will portray Mary Bennet, the often-overlooked sister from Pride and Prejudice, in the BBC’s upcoming series The Other Bennet Sister.
• The series, produced by Bad Wolf, is a 10-episode adaptation of Janice Hadlow's novel, with screenwriter Sarah Quintrell leading the adaptation and Maddie Dai contributing an episode.
• Mary's story takes her from her family home in Meryton to Regency London and the Lake District, exploring themes of identity, romance, and self-acceptance.
• The series will air on BBC One and iPlayer in the UK, and BritBox in the US and Canada, though a release date has yet to be announced.
• This Austen-inspired drama aligns with the author’s 250th anniversary and reflects a growing trend of reimagining underrepresented characters in period adaptations.
