The Other Bennet Sister
Details
ATX TV Festival and BritBox are bringing a fresh dose of Jane Austen energy to Austin with The Other Bennet Sister, an advance screening and Q&A that puts the wonderfully underestimated Mary Bennet in the spotlight.
Based on Janice Hadlow’s acclaimed novel, this new BritBox drama reimagines the world of Pride and Prejudice through the eyes of the middle Bennet sister—the one who has long lived in the shadow of her more famous siblings. Expect romance, family drama, wit, and a smart new take on a classic literary universe.
After the screening, Ella Bruccoleri will join the conversation for a behind-the-scenes Q&A about:
- the series’ romantic and dramatic themes
- its fresh reinterpretation of the Austen-inspired world
- how it fits into today’s beloved literary adaptations
This is a fun pick for TV fans, book lovers, and anyone who enjoys a period drama with a modern spark. The series premieres on BritBox in North America later this year, so this is a great chance to get an early look before everyone else.
Doors open at 2:15pm, show starts at 2:45pm.
