The new drama will be a co-production between Number 9 Films TV and Masterpiece and features quite the cast. Nell Tiger Free (The First Omen) leads the cast as protagonist Isabel Archer, while other cast members include Love Actually icon Bill Nighy and Blackadder's Miranda Richardson.
The synopsis continues: "A charming young woman with an innate wildness and a burning desire to be independent, Isabel rejects a series of marriage proposals, but when she inherits an unexpected fortune that promises to grant her freedom, she falls prey to two American ex-pat schemers: the elegant Madame Merle, played by BAFTA-nominee Gemma Arterton (Secret Service), and the charming but calculating Gilbert Osmond, played by Jim Sturgess (Mix Tape).
"Oscar-nominee and BAFTA winner, Bill Nighy (Joy) plays Mr Touchett, who is enamoured with Isabel’s youth and spirit and hopes to help her in her quest for freedom, while Oscar-nominee and BAFTA winner, Miranda Richardson (The Last Anniversary) plays Mrs Touchett, Isabel’s fantastically eccentric aunt, who takes her to Europe in search of a husband."
Hamish Frew (Dear England) also stars as Casper Goodwood, Thomas Coombes (The Agency) as Mr Bantling, Lydia Leonard (Down Cemetery Road) as Countess Gemini and Edward Rosier will be played by Dean-Charles Chapman (1917).

We’re excited to see Nell Tiger Free in the iconic role of Isabel Archer and Jim Sturgess in the equally iconic role of Gilbert Osmond. We find it astonishing that James's prescient story has not been made for television for nearly 60 years, but like all great things, it will definitely be worth the wait."
"Director Aisling Walsh has brought together a stellar cast led by Nell Tiger Free, Gemma Arterton, and Jim Sturgess. They will all bring the nuance and beauty of Henry James’ story to the screen in an unforgettable piece of television."
