  VANITY FAIR, produced by Mammoth Screen (the same company that brought us Victoria and Poldark), is set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars, and follows modern heroine Becky Sharp as she attempts to claw her way out of poverty and scale the heights of English Society. Her
After airing on ITV in UK, Vanity Fair will air on Amazon too in US
story of villainy, crime, merriment, lovemaking, jilting, laughing, cheating, fighting and dancing, takes her all the way to the court of King George IV, via the Battle of Waterloo, breaking hearts and losing fortunes as she goes.

Lead heroine Becky Sharp is played by Olivia Cooke, Tom Bateman (Da Vinci's Demons) is Captain Rawdon Crawley! They are now joined by Charlie Rowe as George Osborne, Johnny Flynn (Genius) as Dobbin, Martin Clunes (Doc Martin) as Sir Pitt Crawley, Frances de La Tour (Vicious, The Collection) as Miss Matilda Crawley, Suranne Jones (Doctor Foster) as Miss Pinkerton and Michael Palin as Thackeray himself.

    I didn't read the book (really, who has time for that) but I have no problem jumping on the series train.
