ITV has added all three episodes of a festive miniseries adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's classic novel Little Women, now available to stream on ITVX. The period drama, originally aired on the BBC, features a stellar cast including Maya Hawke as Jo March, Emily Watson as the March matriarch, and the late Angela Lansbury as Aunt March.
The coming-of-age story follows the four March sisters as they navigate life during the American Civil War and its aftermath. The adaptation has been praised for its 'tear-jerking' qualities and Christmas spirit, with the family facing a bitterly cold New England winter while struggling to afford presents.
The miniseries holds an 81% 'Certified Fresh' score on Rotten Tomatoes, with a 100% audience rating. Critics have described it as 'warm, welcoming and occasionally tear-jerking', with The Guardian calling it the perfect binge for Boxing Day. The New Zealand Herald noted it made them cry twice.
Alongside Hawke, the cast includes Kathryn Newton as Amy, Michael Gambon as Mr Laurence, and Jonah Hauer-King as Laurie. The series is available in its entirety on ITVX.
