Not only is a new adaptation of Sense and Sensibility in the works, but Pride and Prejudice is also getting the remake treatment. Written by bestselling author Dolly Alderton (Good Material) and directed by Euros Lyn (Heartstopper), the classic novel is officially coming to Netflix. Here's everything we know about the six-part limited series. Pride and Prejudice will be based on the 1813 novel by Jane Austen. The story, previously adapted for the screen in the 2005 film starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen, follows the complex romance between a young woman named Elizabeth Bennet and a wealthy man, Mr. Darcy. The new Netflix series assures a 'faithful' adaptation of Austen's book. Emma Corrin (Nosferatu, The Crown) will play Elizabeth Bennet. Corrin will also serve as an executive producer for the series. Jack Lowden (Slow Horses, Dunkirk) will portray Mr. Darcy, and Olivia Colman (The Favourite, The Crown) will star as Elizabeth's mother, Mrs. Bennet. 'Playing Elizabeth Bennet is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,' Corrin told Netflix's Tudum. 'To be able to bring this iconic character to life, alongside Olivia and Jack, with Dolly's phenomenal scripts, is truly the greatest honor. I can't wait for a new generation to fall in love with this story all over again.' Other cast members include Rufus Sewell (The Diplomat) as Mr. Bennet, Freya Mavor (Industry) as Jane Bennet, Rhea Norwood (Heartstopper) as Lydia Bennet, Louis Partridge (Disclaimer) as Mr. Wickham, Jamie Demetriou (Fleabag) as Mr. Collins, Daryl McCormack (Good Luck to You, Leo Grande) as Mr. Bingley, Siena Kelly (Black Mirror) as Caroline Bingley, Fiona Shaw (Killing Eve) as Lady Catherine de Bourgh, and newcomers Hopey Parish and Hollie Avery as Mary and Kitty Bennet, respectively. Anjana Vasan, Sebastian Armesto, Rosie Cavaliero, Saffron Coomber, James Dryden, Justin Edwards, James Northcote, Eloise Webb, and Isabella Sermon round out the cast. Production is currently underway in the U.K., and a release date for the six-part limited series hasn't been revealed yet. On July 29, Netflix unveiled a first-look image of the main cast: This story will be updated.
