Netflix is adding another adaptation of classic literature to its series roster.
The streamer has greenlit a six-episode limited series based on Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Emma Corrin, Jack Lowden and Olivia Colman are set to play lead roles in the series, which comes from writer Dolly Alderton (the BBC’s Everything I Know About Love) and director Euros Lyn (Heartstopper). BBC Studios’ Lookout Point is producing the series, which is set to begin filming later this year in the U.K.
Corrin (The Crown, Nosferatu) will play Elizabeth Bennet, the intelligent and unconventional second daughter of the Bennet family. Lowden (Slow Horses) plays Mr. Darcy, the wealthy, gruff member of the gentry whose romance with Elizabeth fuels the story. Oscar and Emmy winner Colman (The Favourite, The Crown) plays Mrs. Bennet, Elizabeth’s mother.
