How to Watch Persuasion: Is the Jane Austen Movie Streaming or in Theaters?

Thanks to shows like Bridgerton and The Gilded Age, we are finding ourselves in a blast-from-the-past world of period romance and drama. Netflix’s Persuasion follows suit. Based on Jane Austen’s novel of the same name from 1818, the new adaptation features Dakota Johnson as the leading protagonist, Anne Elliot. The plot follows Anne, the middle daughter of the Elliot family, who is reunited with her ex-fiancé, Captain Wentworth, played by Cosmo Jarvis. Once separated by her family, fate brings them back face to face once again, testing Anne’s emotions. She sees this as an opportunity to rekindle the lost love and perhaps redeem the mistakes made by her and her family.
