September 5th 2025.
The highly anticipated trailer for Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Wuthering Heights has finally arrived, causing quite the stir among fans. Based on Emily Brontë's beloved gothic novel from 1847, the film stars Margot Robbie as Catherine Earnshaw and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff, following their tumultuous romance. However, it seems that the trailer has left fans divided due to its NSFW moments and artistic direction.
But for those worried about Fennell's take on the classic story, fear not. A mini-series adaptation of Wuthering Heights, hailed as the "best adaptation" of the novel, is currently streaming for free on ITVX. Released in 2009, the series boasts an impressive cast including Tom Hardy as Heathcliff and Charlotte Riley as Catherine, along with other notable actors such as Andrew Lincoln and Burn Gorman. Fans have praised the series for its faithful depiction of the central love story and its darker themes, giving it an 84% rating on Rotten Tomatoes' Popcornmeter.
But it's not the only adaptation of Wuthering Heights out there. In fact, the story has been adapted for film, TV, and radio all over the world, giving fans plenty to choose from. The most well-known version may be the 1939 film starring Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon, which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture. It's currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video, along with other adaptations in various languages including Spanish, Bollywood, and Hindi.
In 1992, Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche took on the iconic roles of Heathcliff and Catherine in a British adaptation of the story. And most recently, in 2011, Kaya Scodelario and James Howson starred in Andrea Arnold's film version of Wuthering Heights. But not all adaptations have been well-received, with some fans expressing backlash towards Fennell's upcoming film. Some feel that the trailer's raunchy content strays too far from the original story, while others are unhappy with Elordi's casting as Heathcliff, noting that the character is described as having a dark complexion in the book.
Despite the backlash, Fennell's adaptation of Wuthering Heights is set to be released on February 13, 2026. But in the meantime, fans can dive into the various adaptations currently available to stream. Which one will you choose?
