AGE OF INNOCENCE
TV SERIES TO START NEXT FEBRUARY
Sometime last year I told you that Netflix was preparing a new TV series adaptation of AGE OF INNOCENCE and today the streamer has
announced that it will stream February 18th next year and we have a slate of new images from the show. Camila Morrone stars as Ellen Olenska,
Kristine Froseth as May Welland, Ben Radcliffe as Newland Archer and Margo Martindale as Mrs. Manson-Mingott in the series of forbidden love
in 19th century New York a passionate and heart-rending love triangle exploring themes of freedom, duty, identity and love in all its forms. The cast
will also include Fiona Glascott as May’s mother; Belinda Bromilow as Newland’s mother; and Emma Shipp as Newland’s ummarried sister. The
long list of supporting actors includes our dear Anna Madeley from All Creatures Great and Small and Will Tudor. This fresh take is true to
Wharton’s novel but will speak to a new generation as we traverse the ballrooms and bedrooms of these young people, asking the question what is
love — and what is lust? And should we ultimately be driven by our heads or by our hearts?
