Wuthering Heights is a 2009 two-part British ITV[1] television series adaptation of the 1847 novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. The episodes were adapted for the screen by Peter Bowker and directed by Coky Giedroyc.[2] The programme stars Tom Hardy and Charlotte Riley in the roles of the lovers Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw.

The series was first broadcast in January 2009 in the US, as part of PBS's Masterpiece Classic programming.[3] It eventually aired in the UK in two separate 90-minute instalments on consecutive nights, on 30 and 31 August 2009. It was broadcast on the terrestrial network ITV (ITV1 and UTV), and in early 2010 on STV in Scotland.
