Emerald Fennell<\/a> is no stranger to desire in its darkest forms, and in 2026, she’s reinvigorating a classic tragedy. After Promising Young Woman<\/em><\/a> and Saltburn<\/em><\/a>, the Oscar-winning filmmaker is turning her lens to the Yorkshire moors with a lavish new adaptation of Wuthering Heights<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Warner Bros. has released the first trailer for the film, starring Margot Robbie<\/a> and Jacob Elordi<\/a> as the doomed lovers Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff. Fennell writes, directs, and produces the project, reimagining Emily Bront\u00eb\u2019s 1847 classic for a modern audience\u2014one drawn to her particular brand of beautiful unease.<\/p>\n

The teasers so far hint at a visceral, sensual reworking of the Gothic text. And with Charli XCX<\/a> composing an original album to accompany the film, Wuthering Heights<\/em> looks set to become 2026\u2019s most intoxicating cinematic event.<\/p>\n

What is <\/b>Wuthering Heights<\/i><\/b> about?<\/b><\/h4>\n

Fennell\u2019s adaptation of Bront\u00eb\u2019s only novel centres on the violent, passionate relationship between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, an orphan taken in by her family.<\/p>\n

Set amid the untamed British countryside, the story explores obsession, revenge, and the social hierarchies that shape their doomed love.<\/p>\n

Spanning generations, Wuthering Heights captures how desire can both elevate and destroy\u2014a theme perfectly suited to Fennell\u2019s taste for emotional volatility and psychological intensity.<\/p>\n

Who is cast in Emerald Fennell\u2019s <\/b>Wuthering Heights<\/i><\/b>?<\/b><\/h4>\n

Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi<\/a> are our modern Cathryn and Heathcliff. The two, who recently starred in a Chanel No. 5 campaign<\/a> together, are already making headlines from the BTS glimpses we’ve seen.<\/p>\n

The cast also features Hong Chau as Nelly Dean, Alison Oliver as Isabella Linton, and Shazad Latif as Edgar Linton, with rising newcomers Owen Cooper, Charlotte Mellington, and Vy Nguyen playing the younger versions of Heathcliff, Catherine, and Nelly.<\/p>\n

Robbie\u2019s production<\/a> company, LuckyChap<\/a>, is producing, with Elordi describing the film as \u201celectric\u2026 like nails on a chalkboard. It moves you in some kind of way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Given the expansive nature of the book, it\u2019s unclear if Fennell will be faithful to the original material and re-tell their exhaustive three-decade romance, or focus on a particular fragment of the novel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When will <\/b>Wuthering Heights <\/i>be released<\/b>?<\/b><\/h4>\n

Filming began in early 2025 across the English countryside, with first-look photos revealing Robbie in a sweeping, off-the-shoulder wedding gown.<\/p>\n
