Watch Jessica Brown Findlay in the Trailer for NBC's 'Brave New World'
It's always lovely to watch our faves from Downton Abbey continue to thrive in the entertainment landscape long after the doors to Highclere Castle officially closed on the show. Star Michelle Dockery has a new series premiering this month on AppleTV+ (Defending Jacob), Laura Carmichael just finished filming the second season of Starz drama The Spanish Princess, and Elizabeth McGovern recently starred in period film The Chaperone that aired on Masterpiece late last year.
Former Lady Sybil, Jessica Brown Findlay, has been particularly successful in her post-Downton career, landing leading roles in shows like Harlots, Castlevania, and Jamaica Inn and more. The actress is now set to headline a new small screen adaptation of Aldous Huxley's seminal dystopian novel, Brave New World.
The novel imagines a futuristic supposedly utopian society known as the World State, in which human beings are born in artifiial wombs and everyone is organized into strict hierarchies. Citizens are kept under control thanks to a hallucinogenic anti-depressant drug cocktail known as soma, and things like monogamy, privacy, money, family, and history itself no longer exist.
