Emerald Fennell reimagines Emily Brontë’s timeless tale with Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi locked in a feverish, intoxicating love story.

Warner Bros. has unveiled the first trailer for Wuthering Heights, Emerald Fennell’s bold adaptation of Emily Brontë’s enduring 1847 novel, and it’s as sultry, stormy, and uncompromising as fans of the book might hope. Margot Robbie steps into the role of Catherine Earnshaw opposite Jacob Elordi’s Heathcliff, bringing a visceral, almost dangerous chemistry to Brontë’s gothic classic.

The teaser opens on a moment of breathless tension between the two lovers. “Do you want me to stop?” Elordi’s Heathcliff asks, to which Robbie’s Catherine replies with a breathless, “No.” It’s an exchange that perfectly captures the mix of desire, rage, and inevitable ruin that has defined Wuthering Heights for nearly two centuries.

Wuthering Heights will open theatrically on February 13, 2026—just in time for Valentine’s Day, though the romance here is far more operatic than sweet. The film boasts a strong ensemble including Hong Chau, Shazad Latif, Alison Oliver, Martin Clunes, and Ewan Mitchell.

This marks Fennell’s third feature with LuckyChap Entertainment following the Oscar-winning Promising Young Woman(2020) and the divisive yet widely discussed Saltburn (2023). The project reunites her with Robbie not only as star but also as producer alongside Josey McNamara, giving Wuthering Heights the unmistakable creative stamp of LuckyChap.

Though Brontë’s novel has been adapted countless times—from Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon in William Wyler’s 1939 version to Tom Hardy and Charlotte Riley’s 2009 ITV miniseries—Fennell’s take promises a more stylized, modern edge. Known for her mix of biting wit and unsettling intimacy, Fennell seems poised to bring the story into the cinematic moment without losing the text’s brutal, haunting heart.

The trailer hints at lush production design and sweeping cinematography that recall the novel’s moody Yorkshire moors, while the costuming and dialogue highlight the push-pull dynamic between the characters’ destructive love and their yearning for transcendence.

Robbie’s 2025 slate already includes Kogonada’s A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, while Elordi continues his ascent with roles in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein and Ridley Scott’s The Dog Stars. Together, their pairing in Wuthering Heightsseems destined to dominate awards conversations and fuel endless online discourse.
