DESCRIPTION: (from Netflix's press release, October 2025) Based on Edith Wharton's classic novel of forbidden love in 19th century New York, The Age Of Innocence is a passionate and heart-rending will-they/won't-they love triangle exploring themes of freedom, duty, identity and love in all its forms. This fresh take is true to Wharton's novel but will speak to a new generation as we traverse the ballrooms and bedrooms of these young people, asking the question what is love - and what is lust? And should we ultimately be driven by our heads or by our hearts?
