how many wuthering heights movies are there
There isn’t one single agreed-on number, because it depends how broadly you count “movie,” but here’s the best way to break it down in 2026:
- If you mean all film and TV adaptations of Wuthering Heights (feature films, TV movies, miniseries, and loose modernizations), there are well over 30 versions , with sources commonly citing “at least 14” earlier on and more recent counts passing 35 screen adaptations in total.
- If you mean major, fairly well-known film adaptations that stick relatively closely to the novel and are often discussed together, you’ll usually see lists of about 8–10 core movies (for example, 1939, 1958, 1970, 1985, 1988, 1992, 2009, 2011, and a few others).
- A recent article notes that Wuthering Heights has “sparked over 35 adaptations for film and television,” starting with a silent film in 1920 and continuing up to the new 2026 movie directed by Emerald Fennell.
So, in casual terms: there are dozens of Wuthering Heights movies and TV versions, with 8–10 “big” film adaptations that people most often talk about today.
