Netflix has teamed up with best-selling author Dolly Alderton to bring another adaptation of Jane Austen’s iconic and beloved Pride and Prejudice to our screens.
Here’s everything we know so far about the upcoming TV series!
IS NETFLIX MAKING A NEW PRIDE AND PREJUDICE SERIES?
Netflix has confirmed that a new Pride and Prejudice series is officially in production, with author Dolly Alderton (Everything I Know About Love) writing the script and Euros Lyn (Heartstopper) directing.
The brand-new six-part limited series will closely follow the original text, introducing a new generation to Jane Austen’s classic work.
“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,” Dolly told Netflix. “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.
“The book is a gift to adapt – packed with drama and depth as well as comedy and charm. In it lies the opportunity to examine the complexities of love, family, friendship and society, while aspiring to Austen’s delightfully observational voice. 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.”
There’s currently no confirmed release date, but the key cast members have been announced…
