Little Women

Based on the 1868 novel of the same name by Louisa May Alcott, the three-part miniseries Little Women follows the March sisters – Meg (Willa Fitzgerald), Jo (Maya Hawke), Beth (Annes Elwy), and Amy (Kathryn Newton) – on their journey from childhood to adulthood. With the help of their mother Marmee (Emily Watson), while their father is away fighting in the American Civil War, the girls navigate what it means to be a young woman – from gender roles to sibling rivalry, first love, loss and marriage. Emily Watson plays family matriarch Marmee and Angela Lansbury the girls' cantankerous wealthy aunt. Michael Gambon, as the Marches' neighbor, and Jonah Hauer-King, as his grandson Laurie, round out the cast. (Cinemax)
