About the Show

Miss Austen takes a literary mystery – Cassandra Austen notoriously burning her famous sister Jane’s letters – and reimagines it as a fascinating, witty, and heartbreaking story of sisterly love.

The drama begins in 1830, a while after Jane has died. Cassandra races to see her friend Isabella who is about to lose her home following her father’s death. Cassandra is ostensibly there to help, but her real motive is to find a stash of private letters which, in the wrong hands, could destroy Jane’s reputation.

Miss Austen on Masterpiece will premiere Sunday, May 4, 2025 at 9PM on PBS KVIE and the PBS app.
