11 Shows to Watch Starring ‘The Other Bennet Sister’ Cast
Looking for a new series to watch this weekend? Here are all the period dramas (and a couple of fantasy ones) starring the cast of 'The Other Bennet Sister.'
One of the best parts of seeing The Other Bennet Sister reach hit status in America is seeing the cast’s popularity take off as a result. Ella Bruccoleri, who plays Mary, has been a PBS fixture for years; seeing her gain wider recognition with this role is a delight. The other legs of the central love triangle, Dónal Finn (Hayward) and Laurie Davidson (Ryder), are both actors who have been relegated mainly to sidekick and supporting roles. The Other Bennet Sister represents breakout moments for all three.
The truth is, most of the cast are what you might think of as journeymen BBC actors – the ones who show up in countless series as guest stars, or join a cast for a few seasons before moving on while the show continues. They’ve been turning in star-caliber performances on long-running series like Sex Education (Tanya Reynolds), playing the “Young” versions of actors much more famous than they are in series like Sherwood (Poppy Gilbert), or joining established shows that are canceled out from under them, like Doctor Who and Annika. (We see you, Varada Sethu.)
So if you’re missing The Other Bennet Sister and already re-watched Pride & Prejudice (the 1995 version or the 2005 movie, we’re not judging!), here are other period (or fantasy-period) shows starring the cast to check out.
