Cast Of Wuthering Heights 2022

Okay, let’s be real for a second. When I heard they were making another Wuthering Heights, I rolled my eyes so hard I nearly pulled a muscle. Do we really need another brooding Heathcliff wandering the moors? I thought I was over it. Then they dropped the cast, and I was suddenly sitting up straighter than a Victorian schoolmarm.

First up: Tommy Lee as Earnshaw? Wait, no, that’s not the cast. I’m kidding! The actual lineup is ridiculously good. Let’s talk about who’s bringing the angst in 2022.

Heathcliff: The Man, The Myth, The Moody Mess

The biggest question mark is always Heathcliff. Who has the sheer cheek to take on that brooding, tortured soul? This time, it’s Jacob Elordi. Yes, the tall, painfully handsome guy from Euphoria and The Kissing Booth.

Can he do that “I’ll destroy everyone I love because I’m too passionate” thing? I think so. He’s got the jawline for brooding and the height to tower over Catherine. But can he hiss a line like “I’m Heathcliff!” without making the audience laugh? That’s the real test. I’m rooting for him, honestly.

Catherine Earnshaw: Who’s the Wild Child?

And Catherine? Oh, they cast Margot Robbie for this. Wait, that’s the 2025 version. My bad. The 2022 cast actually went with a relative newcomer: Jasmine Jobson. Remember her from Top Boy? She’s intense.

She’s got this fire in her eyes that says, “I will marry your neighbor, die of melodrama, and haunt you forever.” Perfect. She’s not the usual porcelain-doll Catherine. She’s gritty. I bet her Cathy will yank tree branches and scream at the sky without breaking a nail. I’m so here for it.

The Supporting Cast: Drama Central

Edgar Linton is supposed to be the boring, gentle one, right? The guy you should marry. Well, they cast Nicholas Galitzine (brooding royalty from Red, White & Royal Blue). Wait, that’s a different movie. In 2022, we got Will Smith? No, stop. I’m kidding.

Actually, it’s Tom Blyth. He’s got that “I’m a kind man who will be totally cuckolded by a ghost” energy. It’s perfect. You’ll feel so bad for him when he finds Heathcliff digging up Cathy’s grave. Poor guy.

And Isabella Linton? The one who makes the terrible mistake of marrying Heathcliff? That’s Erin Kellyman (from Solo and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier). She can play vulnerable with a steel backbone. So when Heathcliff hangs her puppy? Oof. She’ll make you feel that betrayal.

Don’t Forget the Villains (and the Nostalgia)

Every adaptation needs a juicy antagonist. Heathcliff is his own worst enemy, sure. But we also get Hugh Jackman as Earnshaw? No, I’m mixing up my fever dreams. The actual cast has Siôn Daniel Young as Hindley Earnshaw. He’s the mean drunk brother. He looks like he’s one sip of whiskey away from punching a wall. Perfect casting.

And Nelly Dean? The maid who tells the whole story? That’s Fiona Shaw. Remember her from Harry Potter? She’s Petunia Dursley. She will delegate gossip with such judgment. I can already hear her sighing, “Oh, Heathcliff, you absolute disaster of a man.”

The Vibe: Is It Good or Just Loud?

So what’s the 2022 version actually like? From the early clips? It’s moody. Lots of rain. Lots of staring. One review said it’s “less romance, more horror.” And honestly? That’s accurate. Wuthering Heights is a horror story about toxic love, isn’t it?

Is it better than the 1939 Laurence Olivier version? No. Nothing is. But is it more fun? Maybe. The cast is younger, angrier, and has better hair. Plus, they let them swear a bit. That’s a win.

Will It Make You Cry or Laugh?

Here’s the thing: every time I watch a Wuthering Heights adaptation, I end up screaming at the screen. “CATHERINE, YOU IDIOT!” I yell. “HEATHCLIFF, GO TO THERAPY!” The 2022 cast seems ready to embrace that chaos.

Jacob Elordi is going to use that deep voice to say, “I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!” And we’ll all swoon. Then he’ll probably do something awful in the next scene. That’s the job. That’s the role.

Final Verdict (From a Cynical Coffee Addict)

Should you watch it? Yes. But don’t expect a sweet love story. Expect screaming, clawing, and maybe a ghost or three. This cast is bringing the heat. They’re not trying to be nice. They’re trying to be true to the book, which is a nightmare of emotions.

And if nothing else? It’s two hours of watching incredibly attractive people be miserable in the rain. What’s not to love? Go grab a blanket, a cup of tea, and prepare to yell at the TV. You’ve got a new favorite cast to obsess over.
