Rueben's Ramblings

The first half of the 3-hour PBS mini-series Little Women will debut on May 13 at 8 PM.

Set against the backdrop of the Civil War and based on the classic novel, the story follows sisters Jo (Maya Hawke), Meg (Willa Fitzgerald), Beth (Annes Elwy) and Amy March (Kathryn Newton) on their journey from childhood to adulthood. With the help of their mother, Marmee (Emily Watson), and while their father is away at war, the girls navigate what it means to be a young woman: from sibling rivalry and first love, to loss and marriage.

The cast includes veteran actress Angela Landsburg, Jonah Hauer-King and Michael Gambon.

Here is a trailer for Little Women:

NOTE: Little Women will air another episode of its three-hour presentation next Sunday.
