Persuasion is the new Jane Austen adaptation on Netflix – and much of it was filmed here in Bath, where the author once lived and wrote.

Jane Austen lived in Bath from 1801 to 1806, and the city providing inspiration for her novel Persuasion, so it makes sense that Bath's historic Georgian streets would also be used as locations for period adaptations of her work. Netflix's 2022 version of Persuasion – available to stream from 15th July and starring Dakota Johnson and Henry Golding – features beautiful Bath as a backdrop, as do both the 1995 and 2007 adaptations.
