\n\tSarah Quintrell, who penned nine out of the 10 episodes of the acclaimed \u201cPride & Prejudice\u201d spinoff series, is writing all three parts based on storylines by author Janice Hadlow. Series director Asim Abbasi is also returning. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe special is set to shoot in Wales this summer and will feature Ella Bruccoleri as Mary, the titular other Bennet sister, alongside other familiar faces from the series. Based on Hadlow\u2019s novel of the same name, the show follows the oft-overlooked middle sister in the Bennet family as she navigates the societal pressures of Regency-era England. <\/p>\n

\n\tWhen it premiered earlier this year, \u201cThe Other Bennet Sister\u201d broke records for BritBox in the U.S. and Canada, driving five times more new subscribers to the streamer in its first five weeks than any other series and helping it achieve the strongest quarter yet in terms of subscriber growth. Over in the U.K., the show had the biggest launch for a new drama across all platforms since May 2025, garnering 7.3 million viewers in its first 28 days. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe Other Bennet Sister\u201d is produced by Bad Wolf for BritBox North America and the BBC. The special was commissioned by Lindsay Salt, director of BBC Drama, for BBC iPlayer and BBC One and Jon Farrar, chief content officer of direct to consumer at BBC Studios, for BritBox North America. The executive producers are Kate Crowther, Becca Kinder and Jane Tranter for Bad Wolf, Rebecca Ferguson for the BBC, Robert Schildhouse, Farrar and Jess O\u2019Riordan for BritBox, Quintrell and Hadlow. The series has been developed and overseen by Bad Wolf\u2019s managing director Dan McCulloch and chief creative officer Ryan Rasmussen.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe always hoped audiences would fall in love with Mary Bennet\u2019s story, but the response to \u2018The Other Bennet Sister\u2019 has exceeded even our most optimistic expectations,\u201d said Tranter, executive producer and CEO of Bad Wold. \u201cThese Christmas specials give us the chance to spend a little more time with characters audiences have taken to their hearts, and to explore what happens after the wedding bells fade and real life begins. Returning to the world of Mary Bennet with our brilliant partners at the BBC and BritBox feels like the perfect way to celebrate the success of the series and give viewers a treat this Christmas.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAdded O\u2019Riordan, executive producer and commissioning executive at BritBox: \u201cWe know how much audiences have fallen in love with Mary Bennet, and we\u2019re thrilled that her story isn\u2019t over yet. We are so pleased Mary\u2019s story will continue for three more chapters and to welcome audiences back into the world of \u2018The Other Bennet Sister\u2019 this holiday season.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDirector of BBC drama Salt said it\u2019s \u201cbeen incredibly exciting to see Mary Bennet cause such a sensation in 2026,\u201d adding that \u201cwe could not be happier to announce this new three-part Christmas gift to her millions of fans. Marriage was just the beginning for the no-longer-so-overlooked Bennet sister, and it\u2019s a joy to be working with Sarah, Janice and the Bad Wolf team to let viewers discover what comes next.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThough a premiere date has not yet been set, \u201cThe Other Bennet Sister\u201d Christmas episodes will air exclusively in the U.S. and Canada on BritBox and exclusively in the U.K. on BBC iPlayer and BBC One.<\/p>\n
