Netflix unveils first footage of 'The Age of Innocence' series starring Camila Morrone
The eight-episode adaptation of Edith Wharton’s novel will premiere on Netflix on 18 February.
Netflix has released the first footage from the miniseries *The Age of Innocence*, based on Edith Wharton’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name. The lead roles are played by Camila Morrone, Kristine Froseth, and Ben Radcliffe. The eight-episode project will premiere on 18 February.
The story is set in 19th-century New York and revolves around a love triangle, whose participants face a choice between emotions, social obligations, and personal freedom. The creators will also explore themes of identity, duty, and different manifestations of love.
The screenplay was written by Emma Frost, known for the series *The White Queen* and *The White Princess*. She also serves as showrunner and executive producer. The first three episodes were directed by Shannon Murphy, with other directors including Lisa Brühlmann and Natália Leite.
Wharton’s novel was previously adapted by Martin Scorsese in 1993. The film starred Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Winona Ryder. For Kristine Froseth, this new project marks her second adaptation of the writer’s work: the actress is also appearing in Apple TV+’s *The Buccaneers*, based on Wharton’s final unfinished novel.
