The Age of Innocence: Netflix reveals first images and February premiere date for limited series – Netflix has unveiled the first look images and premiere date for The Age of Innocence. The limited series, adapted by Emma Frost from Edith Wharton’s classic novel, arrives on Netflix on 18 February 2027.
Camila Morrone, Kristine Froseth and Ben Radcliffe star in the contemporary reimagining of Wharton’s tale of forbidden love in 19th century New York. Netflix describes it as a heart-rending romance exploring freedom, duty, identity and love in all its forms.
The series also has strong Australian connections. Director Shannon Murphy, a co-founder of Dollhouse Pictures, directs the first three episodes and is an executive producer. TV Central recently reported on the company’s latest project in Dollhouse Pictures to adapt Bri Lee’s The Work for television. Australia’s Belinda Bromilow, known for The Great and Doctor Doctor, is also a series regular.
What The Age of Innocence is about
Based on Edith Wharton’s classic novel of forbidden love in 19th century New York, The Age of Innocence is a will-they/won’t-they love triangle. It explores themes of freedom, duty, identity and love in all its forms.
According to Netflix, this fresh take is true to Wharton’s novel but will speak to a new generation. The series traverses the ballrooms and bedrooms of its young characters, asking what is love and what is lust. It also asks whether we should ultimately be driven by our heads or by our hearts.
