The BBC has released new images from the three-part Christmas special of The Other Bennet Sister, which recently finished filming in Wales. The special continues the story of Mary Bennet, played by Ella Bruccoleri, and her husband Tom Hayward, portrayed by Dónal Finn, as Mary navigates married life and an unexpected visitor from her past. Ruth Jones, Tanya Reynolds, Laurie Davidson, Poppy Gilbert, Maddie Close, Grace Hogg-Robinson and Molly Wright reprise their roles, with Nerys Amber Stocks joining as Lucy, the Haywards’ housekeeper.
Sarah Quintrell wrote all three episodes, based on Janice Hadlow’s novel, with Asim Abbasi returning to direct. The series, which became the UK’s biggest new drama since March 2025, has drawn 6.5 million viewers in its first 28 days, with the opening episode reaching 9.5 million. The Christmas special will air on BBC One and iPlayer.
