Quote

The series will begin in 1830 – more than a decade after Jane's death – and sees Cassandra (Keeley Hawes) visiting Isabella (Rose Leslie), the niece of her long-dead fiancé who is about to lose her home following her father’s death.

Cassandra is ostensibly there to help Isabella, but her real motive is to find a hidden bundle of private letters which, in the wrong hands, she fears could destroy Jane’s reputation.

On discovering them, Cassandra is overwhelmed as she is transported back to her youth.

All four episodes of the series – which is based on Gill Hornby’s best-selling novel of the same name and marks 250 years since Jane Austen's birth – will become available on iPlayer at 6am that morning, while the instalments will also be broadcast weekly on BBC One starting that evening.

The series has been adapted by Elizabeth Is Missing screenwriter Andrea Gibb, and provides a fictional spin on a real-life literary mystery: why did Cassandra burn Jane's letters?

The star-studded cast for the series also includes significant parts for Phyllis Logan (Downton Abbey), Max Irons (Condor), Alfred Enoch (How to Get Away with Murder), Calam Lynch (Bridgerton) and Liv Hill (The Serpent Queen).

Meanwhile, there are roles for Jessica Hynes (Life After Life), Mirren Mack (The Witcher) and Kevin McNally (The Crown) in the series, which is directed by BAFTA award-winning filmmaker Aisling Walsh (Maudie, Elizabeth Is Missing) and produced by Stella Merz (Gentleman Jack, Renegade Nell).

Quote

This trailer gives a first glimpse at Cassandra Austen (Keeley Hawes) and "her bond with and loyalty to her sister, Jane".

The trailer also sees Young Cassy (Synnøve Karlsen) and Jane (Patsy Ferran) in flashback as they navigate "the romantic infatuations, female friendships and dashed hopes which shaped their lives, and laid the foundations for Jane’s unforgettable stories".

Synnøve Karlsen played Keeley Hawes' daughter in The Midwich Cuckoos, didn't she?
