The four-part drama, directed by BAFTA-winning Aisling Walsh, began filming in the UK last month and is produced by Stella Merz.
Patsy Ferran (Jamestown) and Alfred Enoch (How to Get Away with Murder) have also been added to the cast of BAFTA-winning writer Andrea Gibb's adaptation, as well as Max Irons (Condor), Calam Lynch (Bridgerton), Jessica Hynes (Years and Years), Mirren Mack (The Nest), Phyllis Logan (Downton Abbey), Kevin McNally (The Crown) and Liv Hill (The Serpent Queen).
The television series is in the works for Masterpiece. The BBC has acquired the series, which is distributed by Federation Studios.
“Miss Austen is a beautifully told story about the loves and losses of the Austen sisters. I’m thrilled that this heartfelt, romantic, and funny adaptation is in the hands of a remarkable ensemble cast led by the incredible Keeley Hawes,” said Susanne Simpson, Masterpiece Executive Producer.
Miss Austen is a co-production of Bonnie Prods and Masterpiece, in association with the BBC and Federation Stories. EPS are Christine Langan for Bonnie Prods, Simpson for Masterpiece and Polly Williams for Federation Stories. Hawes, Gibb and Walsh are also EPs.
