What Is the Netflix Pride & Prejudice About?

This is a faithful, classic adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice — no modern setting, no reimagining, no timeline jumps. Netflix and showrunner Dolly Alderton are going back to Austen’s 1813 original with full reverence for the source material while making it cinematic enough for a new generation.
The story follows Elizabeth Bennet (Emma Corrin), the sharp, witty second-eldest of the five Bennet sisters, whose first impression of the wealthy, brooding Mr. Darcy (Jack Lowden) is one of immediate mutual dislike. As the series unfolds across six beautifully crafted episodes, misunderstandings unravel, prejudices dissolve, and pride bends — until one of literature’s most iconic love stories reaches its deeply satisfying conclusion.
What the Teaser Reveals — Breakdown
The teaser opens with Corrin’s Elizabeth sitting on a rooftop at sunrise, her mind drifting through fragmented visions of Darcy — glimpsed from a carriage window, up close at a ball. As their hands graze flowers and a smooth rock in intimate slow-motion, the teaser seems to deliberately nod to the beloved “hand flex” moment from the iconic 2005 film. Rotten Tomatoes In the final frame, Lowden’s brooding Darcy arrives on horseback Wikipedia — moody, magnetic, and already causing palpitations across social media.
The visual language is sweeping and cinematic. Director Euros Lyn — fresh off Heartstopper — brings an emotional softness to the Regency period that feels both period-faithful and surprisingly intimate.
The Cast — An Embarrassment of Riches
This ensemble is genuinely extraordinary. Alongside Corrin and Lowden, Olivia Colman plays Mrs. Bennet, Rufus Sewell is Mr. Bennet, Freya Mavor is Jane Bennet, Jamie Demetriou is Mr. Collins, Daryl McCormack is Mr. Bingley, Louis Partridge is Mr. Wickham, and Fiona Shaw plays Lady Catherine de Bourgh. IMDb
An Oscar winner, BAFTA winners, and a breakout generation of British talent — all under one Regency-era roof. Emma Corrin also serves as executive producer, marking their debut in that role.
The series is produced by Lookout Point, a BBC Studios company known for high-quality British drama including Gentleman Jack, Happy Valley, and A Suitable Boy. With that pedigree behind it and Dolly Alderton’s deeply beloved writing voice shaping Elizabeth Bennet’s inner world, expectations are sky-high — and from the teaser alone, entirely justified.
