It’s official: There’s more Mary Bennet to come.
The BBC and BritBox have confirmed their breakout period drama The Other Bennet Sister is set to return for a three-part Christmas special this year. Screenwriter Sarah Quintrell will pen the upcoming episodes, produced again by Bad Wolf.
The wildly popular show is based on Janice Hadlow’s bestselling novel and focuses on the forgotten Bennet sister, Mary (played by Ella Bruccoleri), from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. The ten-parter’s ensemble cast includes Ruth Jones, Richard E. Grant, Indira Varma, Dónal Finn and Laurie Davidson, as it traced Mary’s journey from neglected wallflower to marriage material.
The final episode saw Mary agreeing to wed Tom Hayward (Finn), but what challenges does the future hold for the happy couple?
