Netflix Unveils Premiere Date for Limited Series "The Age of Innocence" Based on the Edith Wharton Novel

Netflix has today announced the premiere date for its upcoming original limited series The Age of Innocence based on the novel by Edith Wharton.







All eight episodes of the limited series will be available on Thursday, February 18.

The contemporary reimagining of Wharton's tale of forbidden love in 19th century New York is a heart-rending romance exploring freedom, duty, identity, and love in all its form. This fresh take is true to Wharton's novel but will speak to a new generation as we traverse the ballrooms and bedrooms of these young people, asking the question what is love - and what is lust? And should we ultimately be driven by our heads or by our hearts?

The cast includes Camila Morrone, Kristine Froseth, Ben Radcliffe, Fiona Glascott, Belinda Bromilow, Emma Shipp, John Light and Margo Martindale.

Emma Frost developed the series and serves as showrunner. She executive produces with Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, Tracy Cook, Pavlina Hatoupis and director Shannon Murphy. Chernin Entertainment produces.
