BritBox's new series 'The Other Bennet Sister' began streaming on May 7. The show offers a fresh perspective on Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice' by centering on Mary Bennet.
The premiere introduces Mary Bennet, played by Ella Bruccoleri, as an overlooked daughter in the Bennet family. She faces social pressures in her English hometown and ends the first episode in tears after a dance. The series draws from Janice Hadlow's 2020 novel and follows Mary's journey toward London, where her circumstances improve.
