To add to the lively and funny adaptation, Vanity Fair features a modern soundtrack that still sticks to its period drama roots. Bridgerton fans will also be happy to see Claudia Jessie, who plays fan-favorite Eloise Bridgerton, in a starring role as Amelia Sedley in this historical spectacle.

War and Peace
