ITV commissions Vanity Fair adaptation
Vanity Fair tells the story of Becky Sharpe, a young woman attempting to claw her way out of poverty and scale the heights of English Society.
Set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars, Becky climbs all the way to the court of King George IV, via the Battle of Waterloo, breaking hearts and losing fortunes as she goes.
Olivia Cooke (Bates Motel) will play Thackeray’s heroine Becky Sharpe.
