Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Chloé Zhao (Nomadland, Eternals) returns with ‘Hamnet’, a haunting and visually stunning reimagining of the love and grief that gave birth to one of Shakespeare’s greatest works.
The new trailer introduces audiences to Agnes (Jessie Buckley) and William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal) — two souls bound by passion, artistry, and the unbearable loss of their son, Hamnet. Against the backdrop of Elizabethan England, Zhao’s lyrical vision captures the quiet devastation and enduring beauty of a family’s heartbreak, exploring how love can transcend tragedy through art.
With a powerhouse supporting cast including Emily Watson and Joe Alwyn, ‘Hamnet’ transforms historical fiction into an intimate, emotional epic — one that bridges the gap between Shakespeare’s life and his immortal play, ‘Hamlet.’
