Exciting New Adaptation: Netflix Begins Filming 'Pride and Prejudice' with Emma Corrin & Olivia Colman
Unveils first look.
I love keeping an eye on new adaptations of classic stories, and Netflix’s latest project has certainly caught my attention. They’ve just released the first glimpse of their upcoming series based on Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, and filming is now underway.
It’s always exciting when a beloved literary masterpiece gets a fresh visual interpretation, especially with such a talented cast.
Emma Corrin, best known for her captivating performance as Princess Diana in The Crown, will take on the role of Elizabeth Bennet — a perfect choice to bring that spirited, witty character to life.
Jack Lauden, from the quirky film Slow Horses, will portray Mr. Darcy — I’m intrigued to see how he captures that complex mix of pride and vulnerability. Adding to the star power is Olivia Colman, who will play Mrs. Bennet; her comedic timing and depth promise to bring some delightful moments to the series.
The series is directed by Eros Lin and only six episodes long, so I’m expecting a beautifully crafted adaptation that respects Austen’s wit while offering something new. I can’t wait to see how this modern retelling unfolds — it’s always fascinating when classic literature meets contemporary filmmaking.
