When Mr Dashwood dies, his widow (Caitríona Balfe) and three daughters are left with next to nothing, forced out of their Sussex home and into a modest cottage. Daisy Edgar-Jones (Where the Crawdads Sing) plays the steady, sensible Elinor, while Esmé Creed-Miles (Silver Haze) is her younger sister Marianne, all impulsive heart and no restraint whatsoever.

Between them they fall for two very different men: George MacKay's (Rose of Nevada) quietly honourable Edward Ferrars, and Frank Dillane's (Urchin) dashing, unreliable John Willoughby.

Shot across genuine historic houses in Dorset, Knebworth, and Devon, this version leans fully into the scale and stiff-collared formality of the period while keeping Austen's wit intact.
