The movie will open in the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2026 and in the U.K. on Sept. 26, just as awards season kicks off. Focus Features and Working Title Films, which are backing Oakley's fresh take on the iconic novel, announced the news Monday. Oakley is directing Sense and Sensibility from a script by author Diana Reid. The story centers on the impoverished Dashwood family, and portrays the romantic experiences of sisters Elinor and Marianne as they and their widowed mother navigate life for the once-wealthy family after the death of the father and husband. Edgar-Jones will play the role of Elinor. Focus and Working Title also collaborated on the 2005 adaptation of Austen's classic novel Pride & Prejudice, which earned four Oscar nominations, and the 2020 adaptation of the legendary author's Emma. Focus has worldwide rights to Sense and Sensibility, and will distribute the film domestically. United Pictures international will handle the movie overseas. Working Title's Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner will produce alongside India Flint of November Pictures and Jo Wallett of Kiddo Films.
