About the Show

2023

Two unlikely lovers, a random meet-cute, misunderstandings, and a matchmaking curveball are all classic rom com elements that you get in the new adaptation of Tom Jones. Add elaborate costumes and sumptuous locations to the tale of soulmates finding each other, and you’ll discover this miniseries delivers all the splendor and emotion of a timeless period drama.

The four-part television show is based on Henry Fielding’s classic novel, The History of Tom Jones, A Foundling, a big-hearted tale of youthful exuberance, stirring romance and betrayals, inherently comedic situations, and meant-to-be sweethearts.

Solly McLeod (House of the Dragon) stars as the handsome, resourceful Tom Jones himself, with Sophie Wilde (You Don’t Know Me) as the charming and feisty love of his life, Sophia Western. Emmy® Award winning actress Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso) plays the seductive and vengeful Lady Bellaston, who comes between Tom and Sophia.
