Sense and Sensibility (2024) is the Hallmark Channel’s Hallmark Mahogany adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic novel, and it has already aired: the film premiered on Hallmark Channel on February 24, 2024, and is now available to stream on Peacock. Fans of the site’s other Jane Austen coverage may also want to check our other period-drama soundtrack guides for similar orchestral scores.
This is not the 1995 Ang Lee/Emma Thompson film — it’s a standalone 2024 TV movie produced under Hallmark’s “Mahogany” banner, featuring a predominantly Black cast, directed by Roger M. Bobb with a teleplay by Tim Huddleston. Jane Austen wrote the original 1811 novel; she is not a credited screenwriter on this adaptation.

Official Synopsis: “A period adaptation of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility. After a change in circumstances, Marianne is torn between two men, while Elinor longs for a man beyond reach.”
Reception was mixed: some critics called it “a lovely period adaptation” that stayed “true to Jane Austen’s characters, plot and theme,” while others were more critical of the pacing and script changes. Regardless, the Hallmark Mahogany reimagining drew attention for putting a predominantly Black cast at the center of a beloved Regency-era story.
