Netflix's 'Pride and Prejudice' cast revealed for new adaptation: See the full list
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a streaming service must be in want of its own "Pride and Prejudice" adaptation, and a star-studded one is coming to Netflix. The streamer has announced the full cast list for a new six-part limited series based on the classic Jane Austen novel, which has started production in the U.K. Rufus Sewell ("The Diplomat") has been tapped to play Mr. Bennet, while Freya Mavor ("Industry") will play Jane Bennet, Rhea Norwood ("Heartstopper") will play Lydia Bennet and Louis Partridge ("Enola Holmes") will play Mr. Wickham. Other cast members include Jamie Demetriou ("Fleabag") as Mr. Collins, Fiona Shaw ("Andor") as Lady Catherine de Bourg, and newcomers Hollie Avery and Hopey Parish as Kitty and Mary Bennet. Emma Corrin ("The Crown") was previously announced to be starring as Elizabeth Bennet, with Jack Lowden ("Slow Horses") playing Mr. Darcy and Olivia Colman ("The Favourite") playing Mrs. Bennet. In addition to unveiling the full cast list, Netflix released a first look photo featuring Corrin, Mavor, Colman, Parish, Norwood and Avery in their roles. "Pride and Prejudice," directed by Euros Lyn ("Heartstopper") and written by author Dolly Alderton, is described as a "faithful, classic adaptation" of the original Austen novel. In addition to starring, Corrin is serving as executive producer. "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," Alderton previously said. "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." From Marvel to Mr. Darcy: Why actor Angourie Rice based debut novel on 'Pride & Prejudice' Originally published in 1813, the book has been adapted into numerous films and TV series over the years, including a 2005 movie starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen, as well as a 1995 limited series starring Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth. "Pride and Prejudice" is also the latest Austen novel to get the Netflix treatment. In 2022, the streamer released a film version of "Persuasion" starring Dakota Johnson, which earned largely negative reviews.
