Jane possesses an extraordinary beauty, while Elizabeth is a young woman fairly brilliant; Mary, however, is the middle sister of the pair, who does not shine either in looks or in wit, and for this reason is frequently and gladly belittled by their mother. Yet, after their father, Mr. Bennet, passes away, Mary makes a bold choice: she moves to London to live with her Aunt and Uncle Gardiner and to escape the pressure of family expectations. Thus, the young woman begins to flourish like a shy bloom, making friends and gradually rediscovering herself. This is only a preview of the plot of The Other Bennet Sister – Pride and Redemption, a period TV series from Now based on Janice Hadlow’s bestseller, which seeks to retell Pride and Prejudice to give a voice to those who were unheard.

Little Women
In Massachusetts, in the mid-19th century, while their father is away at the front during the American Civil War, the Four March sisters grow up under the protective care of their mother, Marmee. The sisters, though related, are very different from one another: the eldest, Meg, has a romantic soul; Jo is the family rebel; Beth is a shy musician; and Amy is the youngest, but also the most ambitious. When their father, still at war, falls ill, their mother must depart to care for him, leaving the sisters to navigate life on their own and proving how strong they can be despite their youth. Little Women is a 2018 miniseries adapted from the beloved literary masterpiece. One season and three episodes are available to stream on Prime Video.

Set in 1832, a noblewoman of England named Anne Lister proves she will not bow to the rigid codes imposed by society of the era.

My Brilliant Career
Australia, early 20th century: Sybylla Melvyn is a girl with lively eyes and refined speech, but above all with a big dream tucked away: to become a renowned writer.

Yet, in the process, she discovers how thrilling it can be to fall in love. My Brilliant Career, a 2026 TV series, centers on a heroine similar to Mary Bennet, primarily because both are driven by the desire to honor their own nature rather than appeasing others at all costs.
