Netflix’s Age of Innocence Cast Expands with New Stars NOW
URGENT UPDATE: Netflix has just announced the expansion of the cast for its highly anticipated series, The Age of Innocence, featuring notable additions from the acclaimed Fantastic Beasts franchise. This latest development confirms that Fiona Glascott, alongside Belinda Bromilow and Emma Shipp, will join the project as series regulars, igniting excitement among fans and viewers alike.
The streaming giant originally unveiled The Age of Innocence in April 2025, marking it as a fresh adaptation of Edith Wharton‘s classic novel. Showrunner Emma Frost, known for her work on The White Queen, is set to bring this complex narrative to life, which revolves around a tumultuous love triangle set against the backdrop of the 1920s.
In their respective roles, Glascott will portray Augusta Welland, while Bromilow and Shipp take on the characters of Adeline Archer and Janey Archer. They will join a talented ensemble that includes Kristine Froseth, Margo Martindale, Camila Morrone, Ben Radcliffe, Will Tudor, and Steven Pacey, promising a rich tapestry of performances.
The series aims to delve into profound themes of freedom, duty, identity, and love. As Netflix describes, “This fresh take is true to Wharton’s novel but will speak to a new generation as we traverse the ballrooms and bedrooms of these young people, asking the question, what is love — and what is lust? And should we ultimately be driven by our heads or by our hearts?”
Notably, The Age of Innocence was previously adapted into a film by renowned director Martin Scorsese, starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Winona Ryder. During the announcement, Jinny Howe, Netflix’s VP of drama, emphasized the significant impact of adaptations, stating, “The impact of these adaptations can be so powerful that it not only captivates new audiences around the world, it also causes a resurgence in popularity for the original source material.”
As this project progresses, viewers and fans of classic literature will be eagerly watching for more updates on the release date and additional casting news. The excitement for The Age of Innocence is palpable, with the potential to captivate a new generation while honoring Wharton’s enduring legacy. Stay tuned for the latest developments on this thrilling adaptation, as it promises to bring a fresh perspective on timeless themes.
