Louisa May Alcott’s iconic tale of the March sisters’ journey from childhood into adulthood gets a fresh adaptation for a new generation.
Set in New England against the backdrop of the American Civil War, the series follows Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy March as they navigate what it means to be a young woman: from gender roles to sibling rivalry, first love, loss and marriage.
