Why you won’t want to miss Jack Lowden’s ‘captivating’ period drama based on an absolute classic

by

Look forward to the upcoming, fresh interpretation by Jack Lowden, based on a timeless, grandiose period drama from the past – make sure not to miss it!

In the upcoming Netflix series, titled “Bride and Prejudice,” the lead from “Slow Horses” will portray the renowned character Mr. Darcy. This modern adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic novel, Pride and Prejudice, features Emma Corrin from Nosferatu as Elizabeth Bennet and Olivia Colman, an Oscar-winning actress, as Mrs. Bennet, the mother character.

In simple terms, the six-part television adaptation of the groundbreaking 1813 novel will be penned by Dolly Alderton, who is known for writing her memoir titled “Everything I Know About Love” and its TV series adaptation, with the renowned director Euros Lyn from “Heartstopper” at the helm.

What to Read Next

In Regency-era England, the novel “Pride and Prejudice” tells the story of Elizabeth, who discovers the pitfalls of hasty opinions after encountering the charming yet apparently aloof Mr. Darcy.

The upcoming version is enticingly promised to stay true to the original text, thereby reconnecting longtime fans with the classic 1813 novel, while simultaneously appealing to a new audience unfamiliar with Jane Austen’s work, whose novels have kept readers enchanted for over two hundred years.

Occasionally, I find myself among those fortunate enough to re-tell this marvelous tale, and I consider myself exceedingly fortunate to be included in such a group, Alderton expressed.

Exploring ‘Pride and Prejudice’ by Jane Austen once more has been an enchanting journey, revealing both recognizable and novel aspects that make this cherished novel captivating to breathe new life into. The book is a treasure trove for adaptation, brimming with intense drama, profound depth, humor, and endearing charm.

This production offers a chance to explore the intricacies of love, family, friendship, and societal norms, all seen through Jane Austen’s insightful perspective. With Euros Lyn at the helm of our talented ensemble, I can hardly wait to present these witty and multi-dimensional characters to both ardent fans of ‘Pride and Prejudice’ and those who are about to fall in love with Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy for the first time.

Corrin is teaming up with Alderton and Lyn as executive producers. Additionally, Laura Lankester, Will Johnston, and Louise Mutter are also joining them in a production role, hailing from the Lookout Point production company. Notably, this company has previously worked on popular shows like “Happy Valley” and “Renegade Nell.

Enthusiasts of the period drama “Wolf Hall” might look forward to something exciting, as it’s been announced that Lisa Osborne, who worked on “The Mirror and the Light,” will be producing as well.

Corrin commented that portraying Elizabeth Bennet is an exceptional chance they’ve been given. Working with Olivia, Jack, and the brilliantly crafted scripts of Dolly will be an immense privilege. I eagerly anticipate a new wave of audiences being captivated by this story once more.

In addition to Lowden, Corrin, and Colman, the novel “Pride and Prejudice” boasts an impressive ensemble beyond its main characters, featuring:
