Wuthering Heights  is a 2026 romantic period drama film produced, written and directed by Emerald Fennell. Loosely based on the 1847 novel by Emily Brontë, the film is a reinterpretation intended by Fennell to "recreate the feeling of a teenage girl reading this book for the first time". Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi respectively star as Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, alongside Hong Chau, Shazad Latif, Alison Oliver, Martin Clunes, and Ewan Mitchell in supporting roles.

Wuthering Heights premiered at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, California on January 28, 2026, and was released in the United Kingdom and United States by Warner Bros. Pictures on February 13. The film received mixed reviews from critics, but was a box office success, grossing $242 million worldwide against a production budget of $80 million.

In 19th-century England Mr. Earnshaw returns to his estate of Wuthering Heights on the Yorkshire Moors with a young boy he rescued off the streets, whom he introduces to his daughter, Cathy, and her companion, Nelly Dean. Cathy becomes protective of the boy and names him "Heathcliff". As time goes on, the pair become inseparable.

By the time Cathy and Heathcliff have reached adulthood, Wuthering Heights has fallen into disrepair due to Mr. Earnshaw's worsening alcoholism and gambling habits. Cathy plans to court her new neighbor, wealthy textile merchant Edgar Linton, to escape Wuthering Heights' bleak environment and help bring the lowly servant Heathcliff into high society, though Heathcliff is jealous and disapproves. The situation becomes more complicated when Cathy and Heathcliff begin to realise that they have fallen in love with each other, although Cathy initially shuns the idea of becoming romantically involved with Heathcliff and continues to pursue Edgar.

One day Cathy sprains her ankle while spying on Edgar and his ward, Isabella, and is taken in at their home for six weeks to heal. Edgar is smitten by Cathy and proposes marriage, which she accepts. While expressing to Nelly her guilt over choosing Edgar over Heathcliff, Cathy implies Nelly wouldn't understand because she "never loved anyone" and no one loves her. Provoked, Nelly bitterly manipulates Cathy into saying that marrying Heathcliff would degrade her, so that it would be secretly overheard by him outside. Heathcliff leaves before he hears Cathy confess her love for him and her belief in their connection, wrongly believing that Cathy does not care for him, and then leaves Wuthering Heights, riding away on horseback into the sunset. By the next day, Cathy has changed her mind about marrying Edgar, but it is too late as Heathcliff has already left. Cathy is devastated by his departure and initially refuses to accept that he could have left her.
