BBC ORDERS THE OTHER ELLIOT SISTER PERIOD SET TV SERIES BUILDING UPON JANE AUSTEN'S PERSUASION

  THE OTHER ELLIOT SISTER  

BBC ANNOUNCES NEW COSTUME SERIES

It will be a ten part costume series

After The Other Bennet Sister, which is getting a three part Christmas special this December, BBC has announced work on a 10 part series THE OTHER ELLIOT SISTER that will tell the story of Elizabeth Elliot, the overlooked eldest daughter from Jane Austen's Persuasion! Sarah Quintrell is adapting from author Janice Hadlow’s forthcoming novel of the same name. Persuasion focuses on Anne Elliot, whose family moves to Bath to reduce their debt by renting their estate to an admiral and his wife. The new series will build on the approach established by The Other Bennet Sister, placing Elizabeth Elliot, a character confined to the margins, at the heart of her own story. The series will stream on BritBox for viewers in North America.
