BBC and BritBox have ordered a three-part Christmas special for the Pride and Prejudice reimagining series “The Other Bennet Sister.” The show stars Ella Bruccoleri, who reprises her lead role for the upcoming episodes, which are scheduled to air later this year. The series has performed strongly on both platforms following its debut, according to the outlets.
The special is produced by Bad Wolf, with BBC and BritBox collaborating on the new run. Variety reports that Sarah Quintrell, who wrote nine of the series’ 10 episodes, is writing all three installments. The storylines are based on material by author Janice Hadlow. Asim Abbasi is listed as the series director.
Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter both describe the project as a three-part Christmas event and confirm that the main cast returns. The outlets do not provide specific air dates, but they agree on the format, distribution, and production team for the new episodes.
