After the success of The Other Bennet Sister, The BBC & BritBox have announced The Other Elliot Sister. This series will use Austen’s final novel, Persuasion, and will be following Elizabeth Elliot, a character confined to the margins, at the heart of her own story. 

Bad Wolf’s CEO, Jane Tranter, had this to say about the new series: 

“Elizabeth Elliot is an intriguing figure at the edges of Persuasion – someone we know just enough about to wonder what might be going on beneath the surface… We’re delighted to be returning to the world of Jane Austen with the BBC and BritBox, and to bring another overlooked character to the centre of her own story.” 

Meanwhile, BBC Drama’s Director, Lindsay Salt, added that: 

“We’re thrilled to be returning to Jane Austen’s world once more with The Other Elliot Sister. The audience instantly fell in love with Mary Bennet and we’re sure they will do the same with Elizabeth Elliot. It promises to be yet another captivating, heartfelt adaptation from Sarah Quintrell.” 

The series is set for production in 2027, and will air on BBC One & BBC iPlayer in the UK, and BritBox in the US & Canada.
