Fenomen i nieśmiertelny wpływ Jane Austen stoją za kolejnymi sukcesami adaptacji dzieł pisarki, a także kolejnych publikacji innych autorów osadzanych w świecie.
Na przestrzeni ostatnich kilku lat pisałam o najróżniejszych adaptacjach powiązanych w jakiś sposób z twórczością i osobą Jane Austen. Od ,,Sanditon" po ,,Perswazje" czy ,,Miss Austen". W 2026 r. Hollywood postanowiło ponownie sięgnąć po dwie największe powieści angielskiej pisarki – ,,Duma i uprzedzenie" oraz ,,Rozważna i romantyczna" . Zanim jednak nowe produkcje klasyków zadebiutują na ekranach, warto zwrócić uwagę na serial ,,The Other Bennet Sister" wyprodukowany przez BBC i Bad Wolf.
Jest to brytyjski serial na podstawie książki o tym samym tytule autorstwa Janice Hadlow z 2020 r. Na wyspach premierę miał w marcu i okazał się dużym sukcesem ochoczo promowanym przez BBC. ,,The Other Bennet Sister" jest kontynuacją ,,Dumy i Uprzedzenia", która skupia się na Mary Bonnet.

Seemingly unremarkable and often overlooked, Mary Bennet longs to win her family’s approval. The Meryton assembly brings with it an opportunity to shine – and Mary’s first taste of romance. But when Mary’s behaviour at the ball attracts attention, she must decide between trying to please her family and forging a path of her own.
After disappointment at the ball, Mary sets aside hopes of finding a match and devotes herself to more serious pursuits. But Mary’s resolve is tested when Mr Bennet's distant cousin Mr Collins visits Longbourn with a surprising proposal. Mary contemplates a decision that could save her family from ruin – but is she really willing to suppress her true feelings to secure her family’s future?
In the wake of a family tragedy, the Bennet household is thrown into disarray. Mary faces an uncertain future until her aunt and uncle offer her the chance of a fresh start. At first, Mary struggles to adjust to her new life, but she begins to realise that there is a world away from the watchful eye of Mrs Bennet.
Just as Mary is finding her footing in London, she overhears something which knocks her newfound confidence. Mr Hayward opens up Mary’s mind – and her heart – by introducing her to poetry. But their budding connection is complicated by Mr Hayward’s engagement. As Mary wrestles with troubling new feelings, she finds herself caught between duty, a new friendship and the possibility of love.
Mary prepares for her official debut in London society, buoyed by her friendship with Ann and the attentions of Mr Ryder. But a run-in with old rival Caroline Bingley threatens Mary’s growing confidence. Mary faces up to Caroline at a dinner party, but just as things seem to be going in the right direction for Mary, an urgent message from home throws everything into uncertainty.
Mary rushes to Pemberley, fearing her mother is gravely ill, only to be thrown back into the demands of family life. Mary begins to lose hope of ever returning to London – until Mr Ryder unexpectedly turns up. His clear admiration for Mary helps her family recognise how much she has changed. As excitement mounts over Mr Ryder’s visit, Mary finds herself on the brink of a momentous decision.
Under pressure from her mother, Mary weighs up an unconventional offer from Mr Ryder. As Mary grapples with what she truly wants, Lizzy and Mr Collins help Mary chart her own course. And just as Mary thinks she’s taken her future into her own hands, a surprise visit from her aunt and uncle leaves everyone reeling.
Mary joins the Gardiners in the Lake District, hoping for clarity and calm. She reconnects with Mr Hayward, and they bond over poetry and nature. But just as it seems as though they might finally declare their feelings for one another, Mr Ryder arrives to disrupt proceedings, with Caroline Bingley in tow. Once again, Mary’s hopes hang in the balance.
A group hike up Scafell Pike brings buried emotions and romantic confusion to the surface. During an unforeseen storm, Mary finds herself caught in the middle of rising tensions between Mr Hayward and Mr Ryder. As their expedition takes a turn for the worse, Mary is faced with real danger. The events of the day leave Mary feeling more conflicted than ever before.
After Mr Hayward’s sudden departure from the Lake District, Mary returns to London, where she receives an unexpected offer and faces renewed pressure from Mrs Bennet to find a match. After a run-in with an old friend, and with Mr Hayward absent from London, Mary wonders what happiness could look like for her. Can she find the courage to finally stand up to her mother and forge a path of her own?.
,,The Other Bennet Sister" jest pierwszą książką fabularyzowaną Janice Hadlow. Wcześniej zadebiutowała biografią Króla Jerzego III. Przez lata pracowała jako dyrektor telewizyjny dla BBC.
Mary, the bookish ugly duckling of Pride and Prejudice’s five Bennet sisters, emerges from the shadows and transforms into a desired woman with choices of her own.
What if Mary Bennet’s life took a different path from that laid out for her in Pride and Prejudice? What if the frustrated intellectual of the Bennet family, the marginalized middle daughter, the plain girl who takes refuge in her books, eventually found the fulfillment enjoyed by her prettier, more confident sisters? This is the plot of The Other Bennet Sister, a debut novel with exactly the affection and authority to satisfy Austen fans.
Ultimately, Mary’s journey is like that taken by every Austen heroine. She learns that she can only expect joy when she has accepted who she really is. She must throw off the false expectations and wrong ideas that have combined to obscure her true nature and prevented her from what makes her happy. Only when she undergoes this evolution does she have a chance at finding fulfillment; only then does she have the clarity to recognize her partner when he presents himself—and only at that moment is she genuinely worthy of love.
Mary’s destiny diverges from that of her sisters. It does not involve broad acres or landed gentry. But it does include a man; and, as in all Austen novels, Mary must decide whether he is the truly the one for her. In The Other Bennet Sister, Mary is a fully rounded character—complex, conflicted, and often uncertain; but also vulnerable, supremely sympathetic, and ultimately the protagonist of an uncommonly satisfying debut novel.
,,Ta inna siostra Bennet" od 6 kwietnia będzie się co tydzień ukazywała na polskim HBO MAX. Osoby, które już widziały serial uważają, że powstał on w duchu historii Jane Austen.
