Warner Bros. has unveiled the full trailer for the highly anticipated film adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic novel, Wuthering Heights. Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Emerald Fennell, the romance drama is set to hit theaters on February 13, 2026.
The film presents a fresh interpretation of this timeless tale of love and obsession. According to the official synopsis, it explores the tumultuous relationship between Cathy Earnshaw and Heathcliff, whose “forbidden passion” evolves from romantic infatuation to a deeper, more consuming connection.
Trailer Highlights and Cast Details
The trailer features Margot Robbie as Catherine Earnshaw and Jacob Elordi portraying Heathcliff. This marks Elordi’s second collaboration with Fennell, following their work on the 2023 film Saltburn. The footage emphasizes the intense and complicated love story that begins in their childhood and sets the stage for the narrative’s dramatic developments.
In addition to Robbie and Elordi, the film’s cast includes Shazad Latif as Edgar Linton, Hong Chau as Nelly Dean, Alison Oliver as Isabella Linton, Owen Cooper as young Heathcliff, Charlotte Mellington as young Catherine, and Vy Nguyen as young Nelly. The film is produced by LuckyChap Entertainment, with Robbie, Tom Ackerley, and Josey McNamara credited as producers.
Fennell’s adaptation aims to distinguish itself from previous versions of the story, which have been produced multiple times since the original novel’s publication in 1847. Wuthering Heights has been widely regarded as one of the greatest novels in English literature, having inspired numerous adaptations over the decades, including notable films in 1970, 1992, and 2011.
As the release date approaches, both fans of the classic novel and new audiences are eager to see how Fennell’s vision brings this epic tale of love, madness, and revenge to life on the big screen. The combination of Robbie and Elordi’s star power, alongside the creative direction of Fennell, sets high expectations for this new cinematic experience.
