Miss Austen
On BBC One
A tender, literary miniseries centered on the intimate bond between two sisters, balancing witty period charm with the melancholy of lost correspondence and unspoken depths.
Miss Austen takes a literary mystery – Cassandra Austen notoriously burning her famous sister Jane’s letters – and reimagines it as a fascinating, witty and heart-breaking story of sisterly love, while creating in Cassandra a character as captivating as any Austen heroine.
