Netflix Unleashes Official Trailer for Pride & Prejudice Series
Starring Golden Globe winner Emma Corrin (The Crown, Deadpool & Wolverine) as the spirited Elizabeth Bennet and Jack Lowden (Slow Horses, Dunkirk) as the enigmatic Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, the Pride & Prejudice trailer introduces the undeniable chemistry of the latest Austen iteration.
Apart from the razor-sharp banter between the two new leads, the 2-minute-and-19-second trailer showcased its elite cast ensemble, including Oscar winner Olivia Colman as the frantic Mrs. Bennet, Rufus Sewell as Mr. Bennet, Fiona Shaw as Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Daryl McCormack as Mr. Bingley, Jamie Demetriou as Mr. Collins, and Louis Partridge as the charmingly deceptive Mr. Wickham.
Produced by BBC Studios' Lookout Point, all six episodes of the miniseries will land on Netflix simultaneously on December 3, 2026.
How Different Will Emma Corrin & Jack Lowden's Series Be From the Original Film Adaptation?
While Joe Wright's iconic 2005 film starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen remains a beloved cinematic staple, Netflix's new adaptation offers several key differences, apart from choosing the episodic format.
Unlike the two-hour 2005 adaptation, which forced the film to condense subplots and character arcs to fit the limited time, Netflix's decision to spread the story across six episodes allows viewers to dig deeper into the complexity of the relationship between the Bennet sisters, Charlotte Lucas's marriage, and the nuanced social pressures of the Regency era (much like how Shondaland produced Bridgerton).
Screenwriter Dolly Alderton and director Euros Lyn emphasized Elizabeth Bennet's internal agency, wit, and emotional intellect that were not highlighted in the original film, all while keeping the strict historical fidelity to the Regency setting that made Austen's original prose revolutionary.
Jack Lowden's Mr. Darcy moves away from the purely distant aristocratic stoicism, as the show plans to lean more into his social awkwardness, intensity in his quiet moments, and the underlying moral integrity above it all.
For now, Austen devotees would have to mark their calendars for December 3, 2026, when all six episodes drop globally on Netflix! Stay tuned.
