Season 1 of The Other Bennet Sister premiered Sunday, 15 March 2026 at 6am UK time on BBC iPlayer.
- S01E01Chapter 1Seemingly unremarkable and often overlooked, Mary Bennet longs to win her family's approval. The Meryton assembly brings with it an opportunity to shine – and Mary's first taste of romance. But when Mary's behaviour at the ball attracts attention, she must decide between trying to please her family and forging a path of her own.
- S01E02Chapter 2After disappointment at the ball, Mary sets aside hopes of finding a match and devotes herself to more serious pursuits. But Mary's resolve is tested when Mr Bennet's distant cousin Mr Collins visits Longbourn with a surprising proposal. Mary contemplates a decision that could save her family from ruin – but is she really willing to suppress her true feelings to secure her family's future?
- S01E03Chapter 3In the wake of a family tragedy, the Bennet household is thrown into disarray. Mary faces an uncertain future, until her aunt and uncle offer her the chance of a fresh start. At first, Mary struggles to adjust to her new life, but she begins to realise that there's a world away from the watchful eye of Mrs Bennet.
- S01E04Chapter 4As Mary is finding her footing in London, she overhears something which knocks her newfound confidence. Mr Hayward opens up Mary's mind – and her heart – by introducing her to poetry. But their budding connection is complicated by Mr Hayward's engagement. As Mary wrestles with troubling new feelings, she finds herself caught between duty, a new friendship and the possibility of love.
- S01E05Chapter 5Mary prepares for her official debut in London society, buoyed by her friendship with Ann and the attentions of Mr Ryder. But a run-in with her old rival Caroline Bingley threatens Mary's growing confidence. Mary faces up to her old rival at a dinner party, but just as things seem to be shifting for Mary, an urgent message from home throws everything into uncertainty.
