Netflix Pride and Prejudice cast with Irish stars revealed
Netflix have announced the final cast for the upcoming series Pride and Prejudice. The additions to the line-up include Irish actors such as Daryl McCormack and Fiona Shaw. They will be joining other big names, including Louis Partridge, Rufus Sewell, and previously announced Olivia Colman. Production for the 6-part limited series has begun in the UK. Written by award-winning author Dolly Alderton and directed by Euros Lyn, the series is an adaptation of Jane Austen's novel of the same name. Pride and Prejudice was Jane Austen's second book, after Sense and Sensibility, and was published in 1813. The romance novel takes place in the 19th century and follows Elizabeth Bennet as she navigates the pressures of finding a husband. The book has been adapted a number of times, including the 2005 film Pride & Prejudice starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen. '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,' said Alderton. '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. 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.' Daryl McCormack will play Mr Bingley and Fiona Shaw will be Lady Catherine de Bourg. Elsewhere, Olivia Colman will star as Mrs. Bennet, Louis Partridge will be Mr Wickham, and Rufus Sewell will play Mr Bennet. Additionally, Freya Mavor will be Jane Bennet, Jamie Demetriou will play Mr Collins, Rhea Norwood will be Lydia Bennet, and Siena Kelly will play Caroline Bingley.
