Classic Mystery ‘The Woman in White’ Comes to PBS This Fall
The BBC’s new adaptation of Wilkie Collins’ classic 1859 novel The Woman in White will arrive on PBS later this Fall. The story is widely considered one of the first psychological thrillers, and a pioneer of the sensation novel genre.
The plot follows a young artist named Walter Hartright, who encounters a ghostly woman dressed all in white out on Hampstead Heath and is subsequently drawn into a mysterious and disturbing world. Yes, this is a vague summation, but one of the calling cards of The Woman in White is that it’s a story full of misdirection and multiple plot twists. With a helping of romance, mystery and suspense thrown on top.
X-Men and EastEnders actor Ben Hardy stars as Walter, alongside Jessie Buckley, Olivia Vinall, Charles Dance and Dougray Scott.
