Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights Set for 2026 Release

Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Emily Brontë's classic novel "Wuthering Heights" is set to be released by Warner Bros. on February 13, 2026, just in time for Valentine's Day. The film stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, with additional cast members including Hong Chau and Alison Oliver. Fennell, who is also producing the film, opted for Warner Bros. over a $150 million offer from Netflix, favoring the studio's commitment to a wide theatrical release and marketing campaign. The project has generated significant buzz, partly due to Fennell's previous success with "Promising Young Woman" and "Saltburn". Anticipation is high as the film is being fast-tracked for the 2025 awards season, with cameras expected to roll in spring 2025. The collaboration between MRC, LuckyChap, and Warner Bros. highlights a growing trend of studios prioritizing theatrical releases for high-profile projects.
