Netflix is adding another adaptation of classic literature to its series roster.

The streamer has greenlit a six-episode limited series based on Jane Austens 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 BBCs 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, Elizabeths mother. Once in a generation, a group of people get to retell this wonderful story and I feel very lucky that I get to be a part of it, Alderton said in a statement. Jane AustensPride and Prejudiceis the blueprint for romantic comedy it has been a joy to delve back into its pages to find both familiar and fresh ways of bringing this beloved book to life. With Euros Lyn directing our stellar cast, I am so excited to reintroduce these hilarious and complicated characters to those who countPride and Prejudiceas their favourite book, and those who are yet to meet their Lizzie and Mr Darcy.

Added Mona Qureshi, director U.K. content at Netflix, We are delighted to be sharing this beloved British classic with our global audience.Pride and Prejudiceis the ultimate romantic comedy. Dollys fierce intelligence and enormous heart, twinned with her genuine love of the Austen novel means she is able to bring new insights, whilst celebrating all that the generations of fans hold so dear. The calibre of a cast led by Emma, Jack and Olivia is testament to this precious story being in the best possible hands with Euros Lyn and the team at Lookout Point at the helm.

Alderton and Lyn will executive produce with Laura Lankester, Will Johnston and Louise Mutter of Lookout Point and Corrin.

Playing Elizabeth Bennet is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, said Corrin. To be able to bring this iconic character to life, alongside Olivia and Jack, with Dollys phenomenal scripts, is truly the greatest honor. I cant wait for a new generation to fall in love with this story all over again.

Netflix previously adapted Austens Persuasion as a feature film in 2022, with Dakota Johnson starring. The streamer is also adapting John Steinbecks East of Eden as a limited series, with Florence Pugh, Christopher Abbott, Mike Faist and Hoon Lee leading the cast.
