New artwork from Wuthering Heights filmed in Yorkshire

There are some stories that feel as though they were carved directly out of the Yorkshire landscape – windswept, fierce, romantic, and untamed. Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights is one of them. And with Wuthering Heights: Reimagined arriving in cinemas on Valentine’s Day 2026, new production artwork has been released that brings fans closer than ever to the film’s Yorkshire roots.

Directed by Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman, Saltburn) and starring Margot Robbie as Cathy and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff, this bold reimagining blends the raw emotion of Brontë’s novel with the dramatic beauty of the county where the story was born. Much of the film was anchored visually in Yorkshire, and the newly released artwork offers an atmospheric glimpse behind the camera.

The fresh production stills showcase exactly what makes Wuthering Heights so timeless: brooding skies, vast open moorland, and the sense that nature itself is part of the drama.

While the full list of filming sites remains tightly guarded, the production team has confirmed that Yorkshire’s moorland and upland scenery directly shaped the film’s visual identity. The creative team drew inspiration from:

• The moors above Haworth, famously walked by Emily Brontë.
• Remote grouse moor plateaus, chosen for their emptiness and dramatic skies.
• Old packhorse tracks and stone ruins, used as natural set pieces.
• Historic farmsteads, whose shapes informed the design of the film’s Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange.

Even scenes shot elsewhere were colour-graded to match the muted tones of Yorkshire heather, peat, and cloud.

Production designer Fiona Crombie described the region as “the heartbeat of the film,” noting that every decision—from stone textures to lighting levels—was influenced by the West Yorkshire landscape.

Reimagining a Classic for a New Generation

Emerald Fennell’s adaptation approaches Wuthering Heights not as a costume drama, but as a psychological epic grounded in the elements. The tone of the new artwork reflects this shift: earthier, sharper, stormier, and more intimate.

Fennell has said the film aims to capture the novel’s “ferocity, passion, obsession, and madness,” and the artwork reinforces that ambition. Expect a world where:

• Weather shapes the emotional arcs.
• Nature mirrors the characters’ inner turmoil.
• The moors feel both infinite and suffocating.
• Cathy and Heathcliff’s connection is primal rather than polite.

It’s a vision that aligns perfectly with Yorkshire’s own unfiltered beauty.

Yorkshire on Screen: A New Moment for the Region

With global stars, an Oscar-winning director, and one of literature’s greatest love stories, Wuthering Heights: Reimagined is set to shine a spotlight on Yorkshire’s landscapes once again.

Recent productions filmed in the county—Emily, All Creatures Great and Small, Gentleman Jack —have underscored Yorkshire’s cinematic power. But few stories are as deeply rooted here as this one.

As the film’s release approaches, Yorkshire’s moors are ready to claim their place on the international stage.
