First footage of the series 'The Age of Innocence' with Camila Morrone released
Creators of the new adaptation of Edith Wharton's novel have presented the first footage of the six-episode project. The premiere is expected at the end of 2026 or the beginning of 2027.
The series is based on the eponymous book published in 1920. The screenwriter and showrunner is Emma Frost, known for projects such as 'The White Queen,' 'The Spanish Princess,' and 'The Man in the High Castle.' The directors of individual episodes are Lisa Brühlmann, Natalia Leite, and Shannon Murphy.
At the center of the story is a love triangle in New York high society at the end of the 19th century. Lawyer Newland Archer (Ben Radcliffe) is preparing to marry May Welland (Kristine Froseth), but his attention is drawn to her cousin Ellen Olenska (Camila Morrone). The woman returns to New York after an unsuccessful marriage to a Polish nobleman and finds herself at the center of a high-society scandal. Archer must choose between his accustomed life and his feelings for the free-spirited Ellen.
Previously, the novel was adapted by Martin Scorsese. The 1993 film starred Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Winona Ryder.
