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.
