First Look At Netflix’s Jane Austen Adaptation ‘Persuasion’ Starring Dakota Johnson

Netflix has announced the release date for its upcoming reimagining of Jane Austen’s classic novel ‘Persuasion’. The film stars Dakota Johnson, and will debut on the streaming service July 15th. Below you can find the first-look photos for the romantic drama, led by a talented cast that includes Johnson as Anne Elliot, Henry Golding as Mr. Elliot, and Cosmo Jarvis as Frederick Wentworth.

Netflix’s interpretation of ‘Persuasion’ is being described as a modern and witty approach to the beloved story. The film centers around Anne Elliot, “who is living with her snobby family on the brink of bankruptcy. When Frederick Wentworth—the dashing one she once sent away—crashes back into her life, Anne must choose between putting the past behind her or listening to her heart when it comes to second chances.”
