Mary finally writes her story in The Other Bennet Sister trailer

Sure, we all like to think of ourselves as the Elizabeth or Kitty of our stories, but more often than not, we’re Mary, the plain, introverted, other Bennet sister from Jane Austen’s Pride And Prejudice. Neither pretty nor funny, as Austen rudely wrote her, she also doesn’t get much of a chance to develop into a real, fully-rounded character in the author’s telling. But with BritBox’s upcoming series, The Other Bennet Sister, Mary finally gets to shake off Mrs. Bennet’s social and marital expectations and be herself for a change. The Other Bennet Sister tells Pride And Prejudice from Mary’s perspective, giving her the spotlight that she’s been deprived of for more than two centuries.
