‘Age of Innocence’: Everything We Know About Netflix’s Latest Classic Romance Adaptation

Another day, another adaptation! Netflix is in its classic romance era: Filming is officially underway for the streamer’s Pride and Prejudice miniseries, and next on the docket is Edith Wharton’s The Age of Innocence, a love story set in Gilded Age New York.

Like Pride and Prejudice, The Age of Innocence has made its way to the screen a number of times. Martin Scorsese adapted it in 1993 with Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, Winona Ryder, and Miriam Margolyes in the lead roles. Over three decades later, Netflix revealed that it would make its own version of Wharton’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. We didn’t know who was attached to the project — until now.
