The 2009 mini-series adaptation of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, starring Tom Hardy as Heathcliff, is now available to stream for free on ITVX. The two-episode series, which boasts an 84% Rotten Tomatoes score, has been praised by viewers as one of the best versions of the classic novel.
Hardy starred alongside Charlotte Riley, who played Cathy, and the pair went on to marry in real life after meeting on set. The cast also included Andrew Lincoln and Burn Gorman, with Coky Giedroyc directing.
The mini-series closely follows the original storyline of the novel, which tells the story of orphan Heathcliff's revenge after his beloved Catherine marries another man. In contrast, Emerald Fennell's upcoming big-screen adaptation, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, is expected to offer a 'bold and original imagining' of the tale.
Fans have been recommending the 2009 version following the release of the trailer for Fennell's film, which is due in cinemas on February 13, 2026. The mini-series is available to stream now on ITVX.
