‘Persuasion’ Trailer: Dakota Johnson Captures the Jane Austen Vibe

An old love returns to disrupt Anne Elliot’s life in the first trailer for Netflix’s Persuasion. Dakota Johnson stars as Anne with Cosmo Jarvis playing the jilted lover and Henry Golding as the third part of the love triangle.

The cast of the period romance also includes Richard E. Grant, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Mia McKenna-Bruce, Ben Bailey-Smith, Yolanda Kettle, Nia Towle, and Izuka Hoyle. Ron Bass and Alice Victoria Winslow adapted Jane Austen’s beloved novel and Carrie Cracknell (Julie) directs.

The trailer was accompanied by additional photos along with an official poster.

Andrew Lazar, Christina Weiss Lurie, and MRC Film produce, with Elizabeth Cantillon, Michael Constable, and David Fliegel executive producing.

Persuasion will premiere on July 15, 2022.

Netflix’s Persuasion synopsis:

“Living with her snobby family on the brink of bankruptcy, Anne Elliot is an unconforming woman with modern sensibilities. When Frederick Wentworth — the dashing one she once sent away — crashes back into her life, Anne must choose between putting the past behind her or listening to her heart when it comes to second chances.”
