00:00What if the real story of Pride and Prejudice wasn't about Elizabeth after all?
00:04For over two centuries, Jane Austen's classic has belonged to Elizabeth Bennet.
00:09But behind the scenes, there was always another sister waiting for her moment Mary Bennet,
00:14the overlooked middle child.
00:16Now, Mary finally steps into the spotlight with Time's The Other Bennet Sister Asterisk,
00:21a new television series set to reimagine the world of Pride and Prejudice from her perspective.
00:26Based on Janice Hadlow's best-selling novel, this adaptation is being developed by the BBC
00:31in partnership with Britbox.
00:33It's not a sequel or a modern retelling, it's a parallel story, told through Mary's eyes.
00:38Mary isn't the most charming or celebrated of the Bennet sisters.
00:42She's bookish, thoughtful, and often ignored in a world that values beauty and wit over intellect.
00:48This series promises to explore what it means to grow up feeling unseen,
00:52and how identity is shaped when society doesn't reward quiet women.
00:57The script is being handled by Sarah Quintro, known for her character-driven storytelling.
01:02The goal is a faithful Regency-era drama with emotional depth,
01:06not a flashy reinvention, but a thoughtful exploration of Mary's journey.
01:11Expect rich period detail, nuanced relationships,
01:14and a story that celebrates introspection over spectacle.
01:17Right now, there's no official cast announcement, no filming start date, and no trailer.
01:23Those details are still under wraps,
01:25but casting Mary will be one of the most crucial decisions the production makes.
01:30If things stay on schedule, filming could begin in late 2025 or early 2026,
01:36with a release window likely in 2026 or early 2027.
01:41What makes Time's The Other Bennet Sister Time so exciting is its unique angle.
01:45Instead of balls and proposals, it's about identity, intellect,
01:50and the quiet courage it takes to see yourself when the world doesn't.
01:54It's a chance to revisit a beloved world from a quieter, more intimate perspective,
01:59not about being noticed, but about learning to see yourself.
02:02Are you excited to see Pride and Prejudice retold through Mary Bennett's eyes?
