Netflix has released a trailer and first-look images for its upcoming six-part miniseries adaptation of Jane Austen's beloved novel, Pride & Prejudice. Originally announced in April 2025, the streaming series is scheduled to premiere on December 3.
What's new
This project offers a faithful retelling of the Regency-era literary classic rather than a satirical spin like 2016's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. It aims to bring the iconic enemies-to-lovers romance between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy to a new generation, joining past famous adaptations such as the 1995 series featuring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle, and the 2005 film starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen.
About the series
Dolly Alderton serves as showrunner and writer for the project, aiming to capture Jane Austen's observational voice while exploring drama, depth, comedy, and charm across themes of love, family, friendship, and society. The series is directed by Euros Lyn.
What to expect
The project features an all-star cast presenting these iconic literary characters:
- Emma Corrin portraying Elizabeth Bennet
- Jack Lowden portraying Mr. Darcy
- Olivia Colman as Mrs. Bennet
- Rufus Sewell as Mr. Bennet
- Louis Partridge as Mr. Wickham
- Jamie Demetriou as Mr. Collins
