Vanity Fair is coming to ITV and Amazon

ITV are pulling no punches with their latest televisual spectacle: Vanity Fair.

Vanity Fair has been adapted for screen by Gwyneth Hughes (Dark Angel) and directed by James Strong (Broadchurch). The classic novel by William Makepeace Thackeray for a seven-part series on ITV and Amazon will be brought to life by an all-star cast of great British actors. Joining Olivia Cooke as Becky Sharpe are Michael Palin, Suranne Jones, Francis Delatour, Martin Clunes, Johnny Flynn, and Tom Bateman.

Filming commenced last year and has no ended- a release date has yet to be confirmed but it will definitely be on our screens before 2018 is over.

We seem to be up to our eyeballs in literary adaptations recently, however, apart from the 1998 series, previous adaptations of Vanity Fair were a little lacking, or a little out of left-field, so fingers crossed this one proves true to the book and our imaginations.
