The Other Elliot Sister 

Following the success of the highly acclaimed The Other Bennet Sister, the BBC has commissioned The Other Elliot Sister, a 10-part drama following the eldest sister of Austen’s Persuasion. 

The series is being adapted by Sarah Quintrell (The Other Bennet Sister) from author Janice Hadlow’s forthcoming novel of the same name. The series is slated to start production in 2027. 

Persuasion was the final novel completed by author Jane Austen – published six months after her death. The story focuses on Anne Elliot, whose family moves to Bath to reduce their debt by renting their estate to an admiral and his wife. The Other Elliot Sister 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.
