Wuthering Heights marks the return to directing of Emerald Fennell with a project openly inspired by the famous novel by Emily Brontë. The film was born as a reinterpretation of the original work, entrusted to a director who also signs the screenplay and who deals with literary material focusing on the relationship between Cathy and Heathcliff.
The production is curated by Lie Still and LuckyChap Entertainment, with the direct involvement of Robbie herself also behind the scenes. The distribution is entrusted to Warner Bros. Pictures, in collaboration with MRC.
The Plot of Wuthering Heights, Film 2026
The film chronicles the relationship between Cathy and Heathcliff, two characters linked by a feeling that develops as an intense and forbidden passion. Their relationship, instead of finding a stable form, progressively turns into an obsession that irreversibly marks their lives. The story moves along an emotional path dominated by desire, love and madness.
The Cast of Wuthering Heights: Actors, Actresses And Characters
Margot Robbie (also known for Tonya, Bombshell – The Voice of the Scandal, Barbie, Babylon, The Wolf of Wall Street, Focus – Nothing is as it seems, Suicide Squad, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) plays Cathy, while Jacob Elordi (The Narrow Road to the Deep, Frankenstein, Saltburn, Euphoria, The Kissing Booth) plays Heathcliff. The cast also includes Hong Chau, Shazad Latif and Alison Oliver, joined by Martin Clunes and Ewan Mitchell. The film therefore brings together an ensemble that alternates already established performers with more recent faces, called to confront characters strongly rooted in the literary imagination.

The film originates from the novel Wuthering Heights, published in 1847 by Emily Brontë (an English writer and poet of the Victorian age), today considered an absolute masterpiece of world literature. The adaptation signed by Emerald Fennell (director of A Promising Woman and Saltburn) is not a simple literal transposition, but as a re-reading that starts from the original work to focus on the emotional and psychological dimension of the protagonists. The relationship between Cathy and Heathcliff is thus rethought as a destructive force, capable of transforming love into an obsessive bond, without further details about the degree of narrative fidelity to the starting text.
