What Time Will ‘Persuasion’ Be on Netflix? How to Watch the Dakota Johnson Movie

Whether you were delighted or disgusted by Netflix’s Persuasion trailer, surely you must be a little curious about the streamer’s take on Jane Austen’s last novel, which is coming to Netflix this weekend.

Directed by Carrie Cracknell (best known for her work in the British theater), this 2022 Persuasion already has Austen fans in a tizzy. Starring Dakota Johnson in the lead role, the melancholy Anne Elliot has become—at least, according to the trailer—a quippy, wry protagonist. As Decider’s Meghan O’Keefe wrote, fans feel the movie seems to miss the point of the novel: “Persuasion is not meant to be funny. It’s meant to be beautiful.”

On the other hand, fans of Dakota Johnson will be excited to see her in a period role, alongside a talented cast that includes Cosmo Jarvis, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Richard E. Grant, and Henry Golding. If you want to check out the film despite the backlash, read on to find out how to watch Persuasion, including the Persuasion release date and the Persuasion release time.
