Sign in to your Collider account Earlier this year, the time-jumping, heartwarming romance between Caitríona Balfe's (Ford v Ferrari) Claire and Sam Heughan's (The Spy Who Dumped Me) Jamie came to an end with the eighth and final season of the hit series, Outlander. Called "a warm, reassuring hug for viewers" by Collider's Carly Lane in her review, the final season might've needed to take its own creative avenue from the books, especially considering Diana Gabaldon is yet to complete the final novel, but fans and critics alike were pleased with the outcome. So with Outlander now in her rearview mirror, what was next for Balfe? This September, she joined Normal People's Daisy Edgar-Jones and Pond Life's Esmé Creed-Miles in a new adaptation of Jane Austen's first-ever novel, Sense and Sensibility. Edgar-Jones and Creed-Miles star as Elinor and Marianne, the Dashwood sisters, with Balfe taking on the role of Mrs. Dashwood. Although the film has a small presence in select theaters, having been screened in just over 500 locations last weekend, it finally made the move to streaming earlier this month. That move to streaming has been seamless, with Sense and Sensibility currently ranking as one of the most-watched movies on the Apple TV store in the U.S. In total, the film made more than $40 million worldwide against a reported budget between $20 million and $25 million. Directed by Georgia Oakley, four years after her debut feature Blue Jean earned several accolades, the film also features George MacKay as Edward Ferrars, Frank Dillane as John Willoughby, Herbert Nordrum as Colonel Brandon, Fiona Shaw as Mrs. Jennings, and Bodhi Rae Breathnach as Margaret Dashwood.
