Pride and Prejudice, one of the most iconic novels of all time, is coming to Netflix as an all-new 6-part limited series.

The series will be a faithful, classic adaptation of the novel, written by Dolly Alderton (Everything I Know About Love) and directed by Euros Lyn (Heartstopper), going into production in the UK in 2025.

Dolly will bring to life Jane Austen’s iconic story for audiences that cherish it, whilst inspiring a new generation to fall in love with Austen for the first time.

Emma Corrin (Nosferatu, Black Mirror) will star as Elizabeth Bennet, Jack Lowden (Slow Horses, Benediction) takes on the role of Mr Darcy and Olivia Colman (The Favourite, The Crown) will be Mrs Bennet.

Jane Austen’s beloved novels have enraptured generations for over 200 years. Her most famous and widely-read novel, Pride and Prejudice has inspired countless writers and filmmakers. Its iconic characters, sharp social commentary and timeless love story, continue to delight audiences the world over.

Writer and Executive Producer Dolly Alderton said,  ” Once in a generation, a group of people get to retell this wonderful story and I feel very lucky that I get to be a part of it. Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is the blueprint for romantic comedy – it has been a joy to delve back into its pages to find both familiar and fresh ways of bringing this beloved book to life. With Euros Lyn directing our stellar cast, I am so excited to reintroduce these hilarious and complicated characters to those who count Pride and Prejudice as their favourite book, and those who are yet to meet their Lizzie and Mr Darcy.”

Star and Executive Producer Emma Corrin said, “Playing Elizabeth Bennet is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. To be able to bring this iconic character to life, alongside Olivia and Jack, with Dolly’s phenomenal scripts, is truly the greatest honour. I can’t wait for a new generation to fall in love with this story all over again.”

Netflix’s Mona Qureshi added, “We are delighted to be sharing this beloved British classic with our global audience. Pride and Prejudice is the ultimate romantic comedy. Dolly’s fierce intelligence and enormous heart, twinned with her genuine love of the Austen novel means she is able to bring new insights, whilst celebrating all that the generations of fans hold so dear. The calibre of a cast led by Emma, Jack and Olivia is testament to this precious story being in the best possible hands with Euros Lyn and the team at Lookout Point at the helm.”
