‘Miss Austen’ Sequel ‘Miss Austen Returns’ In The Works For Masterpiece: Producer Christine Langan On The New Series & Bonnie Productions’ Next Chapter
Christine Langan has revealed a 'Miss Austen' follow-up drama called 'Miss Austen Returns' with Keeley Hawes, and a slate of new film and TV projects.
It was founded in 2020 by Langan, the former boss of BBC Films and Baby Cow and a producer on numerous projects including Cold Feet and Stephen Frears’ The Queen, starring Helen Mirren as the British monarch. In a sit-down with Deadline, she shares what’s to come, including an adaptation of Jonathan Coe’s latest novel, ‘The Proof Of My Innocence’; a movie based on the extraordinary real-life love story between broadcaster John Suchet and his wife Nula; and a film about a musical family with Chiwetel Ejiofor that Langan is working on with playwright and screenwriter David Hare. Harking back to the first series, the Bonnie founder recalls that “Keely Hawes lit the Touch Paper” on the four-parter, which tells the story of Jane Austen and her sister Cassandra.
