BBC RELEASES BRAND NEW IMAGES
BBC has released new images from their upcoming new mini series MISS AUSTEN which will arrive sometime next year and will also air on PBS in USA marking 250 years since Austen's birth. The four part drama stars Keeley Hawes as Cassandra Austen, with Synnøve Karlsen, Patsy Ferran, Phyllis Logan, Max Irons, Alfred Enoch, Calam Lynch, Mirren Mack, Kevin McNally also in the cast. On PBS it will air in May and you can see glimpses of the new series down in the trailer for PBS Masterpiece spring 2025 offer of new shows.
THE DRAMA BEGINS IN 1830
many years after Jane has died. Cassandra (Keeley Hawes) rushes to visit Isabella (Rose Leslie), the niece of her long-dead fiancé, who is about to lose her home following her father’s death. Cassandra is ostensibly there to help Isabella, but her real motive is to find a hidden bundle of private letters which,in the wrong hands, she fears could destroy Jane’s reputation. On discovering them, Cassandra is overwhelmed as she is transported back to her youth. In flashback, we meet Young Cassy (Synnøve Karlsen) and Jane (Patsy Ferran) as they navigate the romantic infatuations, family feuds and dashed hopes which shaped their lives, and laid the foundations for Jane’s unforgettable stories. Cassandra’s re-evaluation of her past eventually leads her to find a way to guide Isabella towards the path of true happiness.

I'll wait for a trailer on this to decide, but I do love Keeley so I'm sure I'll end up watching this anyway.
ReplyDeleteShe had a massive series flop in USA this year, she should stick to British shows LOL
DeleteImagine being troubled about some old papers when now a days everything is on the internet for anyone to find. lol
ReplyDeleteSuch were the days.
DeleteKeeley Hawes looks better wearing modern costumes...
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, and Enoch looks better without those fugly sideburns.
DeleteAccording to the Silver Petticoat Review, the exact date for the PBS debut will be May 4th. Snif nothing new this winter.
ReplyDeleteBut it will air on BBC before that. And you have All Creatures season five in January on PBS.
