If you've only ever seen Alden Ehrenreich stepping into Harrison Ford's shoes to play Han Solo in Solo: A Star Wars Story, then you are doing yourself a grave disservice. In Brave New World, she stars as Lenina Crowne, a hatchery (read: baby-birthing) worker in the futuristic city of New London who begins to question her place within her conformist society. In 2017, she took the role of Charlotte in the Hulu series Harlots, and in 2018 she starred in The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. She was the female lead opposite Colin Farrell in Winter's Tale, an ambitious film that nevertheless also featured a flying horse and ended up flopping pretty badly. Jessica Brown Findlay broke many a heart in her breakthrough role on Downton Abbey as Lady Sybil Crawley, whose exit from that show was … let's say "emotionally fraught." Since then, she's always seemed on the cusp of breaking through into major film and TV actress status. Here's a look at who's who among the cast of Alphas, Betas, and "savages" in Peacock's Brave New World: Jessica Brown Findlay as Lenina Crowne To portray the cast of Huxley's characters - adapted for television and in a few cases changed from their literary origins - Weiner has cast a rather exciting mix of young talent, plus at least one former A-List actress looking to return to the spotlight. The citizens of New London enjoy a blissful existence in a world that has, according to the show's press materials, "achieved peace and stability through the prohibition of monogamy, privacy, money, family, and history itself." From executive producer David Weiner ( Homecoming The Killing), the series will present the novel's utopian paradise in all its shining gleam and troubling conformity.
Based on Aldous Huxley's 1932 masterwork of science fiction, the long-gestating TV series adaptation of Brave New World arrives this week as the flagship original series of NBCUniversal''s new streaming platform, Peacock.
