Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights: A New Adaptation Hits the UK

The highly anticipated adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic novel, Wuthering Heights, directed by Emerald Fennell, is set to drop on VOD in the UK this month. The film’s unique vision and controversial casting choices have sparked considerable debate among critics and fans alike. To experience Fennell’s flamboyant take on the classic tale, catch it in cinemas or wait for its digital release.

In the UK, you can book tickets via Vue, Showcase, Odeon, or Cineworld websites. For those in the US, tickets are available from AMC Theatres, Fandango, or Atom Tickets. The film’s trailer has already raised eyebrows, and it’s best to see it on the big screen to truly appreciate Fennell’s vision.

For those eager to compare this new adaptation to previous ones, a guide on where to watch the most important adaptations of Brontë’s work for free is available. The film’s digital release is just around the corner, with a confirmed date of 30 March 2026 in the UK.

Warner Bros., the film’s distributor, hasn’t confirmed a US VOD release date, but it’s likely to happen around the same time as the UK release. The film can be pre-ordered on Amazon Prime in the US. Physical copies of the film will likely hit stores 28 days after the digital release, although there may be exceptions.

The film’s streaming release is also anticipated, with HBO Max being the likely platform in the US. In the UK, Warner films usually end up on Sky Cinema and Now, but with HBO Max launching in the UK in March 2026, Wuthering Heights may be available to stream there. The streaming release is expected to happen in the first half of May 2026, although it may be later in the summer.
