In the windswept moors of 19th-century Yorkshire, three sisters—Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë—pushed against the constraints of a rigid and repressive society to create some of the most beloved novels in English literature. The Brontë Legacy takes us inside the Brontë household, unraveling the complex dynamics between the sisters, their father Patrick, and the shadows of loss that loomed over them. The series will explore the intimate lives of the Brontë sisters—each one a strikingly different personality, each with her creative voice, but all bound together by a shared love for writing and an unyielding desire to escape the limitations placed upon them. From Charlotte's determination to succeed in a world that would dismiss her as merely a "gentlewoman writer," to Emily’s passionate isolation and creation of Wuthering Heights, to Anne’s quieter yet profound impact with The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, the series will highlight their creative process, the challenges they faced as women in a male-dominated literary world, and their deep bond of sisterhood.
