About Middlemarch

Middlemarch ended on May 15, 1994, on BBC Two.

This television adaptation was based on the 1871 novel by George Eliot and aired in 1994. It was a seven-episode series that explored the lives and relationships of residents in a small English town during the 19th century. The story focused on Dorothea Brooke, who sought intellectual fulfillment through her marriage to Reverend Edward Casaubon, only to find the union unsatisfying and marked by unforeseen complications. After Casaubon's death, Dorothea’s life took a new turn when she met Will Ladislaw, leading to further developments.

The series featured Juliet Aubrey as Dorothea Brooke, Rufus Sewell as Will Ladislaw, and Douglas Hodge as Dr. Tertius Lydgate. It was a period drama that presented a detailed look at social norms, personal aspirations, and romantic entanglements in Victorian England. The show consisted of one season with six episodes, each approximately 60 minutes long. The cast also included Robert Hardy, Peter Jeffrey, Trevyn McDowell, Jonathan Firth, and Julian Wadham.
