Jane Austen’s 1813 work is more than just a book; it is a societal icon.
People have read and loved the story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy in millions of books and in countless other forms.
Now, Heartstopper director Euros Lyn and writer Dolly Alderton are bringing a new perspective to Netflix with a six-part series.
Who’s Starring in the New Adaptation?
- Emma Corrin (The Crown) as Elizabeth Bennet
- Jack Lowden (Slow Horses) as Mr. Darcy
- Olivia Colman reuniting with Corrin as Mrs. Bennet
Corrin said the part was a “once-in-a-lifetime chance,” and Alderton said it would have “drama, depth, and Austen’s signature wit.”
Will it be like the first book?
Yes! This version promises to remain faithful to the original writing of the time.
You can expect the same biting social commentary, funny mistakes, and fiery romance, but with a current film style.
When can we watch it?
Filming starts in 2025, but there is still no official release date.
In the meantime, watch the 2005 movie with Keira Knightley again when it comes back to theaters on April 18 for its 20th anniversary!
Who’s Behind the Camera?
- Euros Lyn (Heartstopper) directing
- Dolly Alderton (Ghosts UK) writing
Alderton said that the book was easy to adapt. We are thanking our friends and asking new people to fall in love with us.
