(Image credit: BBC)

The Other Bennet Sister is a 10-part period drama based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Janice Hadlow. It tells the story of the middle sister, Mary Bennet, from Pride and Prejudice, exploring how an unassuming woman in those times, through pure bravery, is able to shun the typical narrative that all a woman must aspire to is a good marriage.

Along the way, the series explores the self-love, reinvention, and even an epic love story she discovers as she steps out of the shadows of her sisters and finds herself. The director, Jennifer Sheridan, said the series is “full of encouragement for young women who feel they don’t quite fit in yet.”
