Article Summary

  • Warner Bros. unveils new "Wuthering Heights" TV spot ahead of its February 2026 cinematic release.
  • Emerald Fennell directs this bold, genre-inspired adaptation of the classic romantic novel.
  • Marketing leans into Valentine’s Day appeal, targeting fans of period romance and dramatic love stories.
  • The film sparks anticipation with its fresh vision, but faces questions about broader audience reach.

While everyone is focused on the Netflix acquisition of Warner Bros., there is an entire slate of movies set to be released in 2026, and they will be here before we know it. One of them that has already caused quite the uproar is Emerald Fennell's new film, which is specified as 'inspired by' the book of the same name, "Wuthering Heights". The marketing appears to be leaning into that Valentine's Day release day much in the same way we saw the marketing for 50 Shades of Grey. Say what you want about that movie, I certainly have, but it did well on its opening weekend, even if the drop off was pretty harsh.

This one has a big question mark hanging over it. If it resonates with its intended audience, we could be looking at a film with some serious legs. If it doesn't, there really isn't much of a "backup" audience, per se. At the moment, there isn't a lot about "Wuthering Heights" that feels like it could draw in someone who doesn't like this genre. Much like horror, fans of period romance and bodice rippers specifically are very loyal, but the 'inspired by' thing might keep some of the hardcore lit nerds away. Marketing is starting to kick off with a new TV spot celebrating the new year.
