Alison Oliver, Shazad Latif, and Hong Chau also star.
When is Wuthering Heights coming out?
The film will be released in theaters on February 13, 2026, which happens to be a Friday. Honestly, it feels pretty poignant to release the film on both a Friday the 13th and Valentine’s Day weekend.
Is there a trailer?
We’re still waiting for a full-length trailer; however, on September 3, Warner Bros. released the next best thing—a very erotic teaser trailer.
Set to Charli XCX’s “Everything Is Romantic” remix featuring Caroline Polachek, the teaser trailer gives viewers a sense of Fennell’s incredibly sensual interpretation of the classic. Scored by Charli XCX, the film is clearly intended as a tongue-in-cheek take on the Victorian classic, which is set several decades before it was published in 1847.
The stunning sets and wardrobes are a mix of old and new—at one point we see Robbie’s Catherine wearing rose-colored sunglasses—making it clear that this isn’t a rigidly faithful adaptation. Which is good news for fans of Saltburn’s rich scenery, which was deftly portrayed by Fennell.
What’s the controversy?
So far the teaser has earned mixed reviews from fans. In the YouTube comments, many Brontë loyalists bemoan that the adaptation appears to be all sexual tension and innuendo shots of fingers in fish mouths, when the actual book was more Victorian yearning.
“I fear they’re making it extremely sensual and provocative for shock value when the book had none of that at all,” wrote one user. Others pointed to the fact that the title is displayed with quotation marks, a clear signal that the source material is simply inspiration, not an exact playbook.
The film poster is even modeled in the style of a paperback romance novel, seeming to imply that the bodice ripping we see in the teaser may go further than violent exhalations and sexually aggressive stares.
