BBC drama celebrates overlooked Pride and Prejudice sister Mary's story

Britain's most-watched new drama, The Other Bennet Sister, centers on Mary, the overlooked middle sister from Pride and Prejudice. Actress Ella Bruccoleri said viewers feel validated seeing "a normal-looking person" lead a TV show rather than a supermodel. The BBC adaptation, based on Janice Hadlow's 2020 novel, explores Mary's struggle to meet societal expectations for women in Regency-era England.
