Watch the First Trailer for the New ‘Little Women’
The first trailer for the new BBC and PBS Masterpiece production of Little Women is here, and it’s pretty much everything that any fan of Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel could ask for.
This clip shows us our first look at all four March girls – played by Maya Hawke (Jo), Willa Fitzgerald (Beth), Annes Elwy (Meg) and Kathryn Newton (Amy) – as well as footage of Emily Watson as Marmee and Dame Angela Lansbury as the cantankerous Aunt March.
The three-part drama will follow the story of four sisters on their journey to adulthood. Set against the backdrop of the U.S. Civil War, the March girls must deal with everything from simple sibling rivalry to first love to gender roles in a rapidly changing society.
