Netflix has released the trailer for its new Pride and Prejudice limited series, with Emma Corrin and Jack Lowden taking on the beloved roles of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy.

The six-part series is a faithful adaptation of Jane Austen’s 1813 novel, written by Dolly Alderton, author of Everything I Know About Love. It centres on the will-they-won’t-they romance between Elizabeth and Darcy as they navigate the social landscape of 19th-century England, where reputation, fortune and family expectation shape every encounter.

Corrin and Lowden headline the series as the adversaries-to-lovers pair at its heart. The casting leans into the novel’s central tension: Elizabeth’s sharp wit and independence set against Darcy’s pride and reserve, with misunderstanding after misunderstanding keeping them apart before the story’s famous reckoning.
The series is directed by Euros Lyn, known for Heartstopper, a credit that signals the adaptation’s likely tone — warm, emotionally direct and alive to the novel’s humour as well as its romance. Alderton’s script promises a version that stays close to Austen’s text while giving the story room to breathe across six episodes.
Why This Pride and Prejudice Adaptation Matters
Austen adaptations arrive regularly, but Pride and Prejudice remains the gold standard against which they are judged. Every new Elizabeth and Darcy invites comparison with the versions audiences grew up with, and Netflix is clearly betting that a faithful, six-part telling — with room for the Bennet family chaos, the Bingleys, Wickham and Lady Catherine — can win over both newcomers and purists.
The trailer’s arrival puts the series firmly on the awards-season radar and gives Austen fans their first real look at Corrin and Lowden’s chemistry. If the finished series matches the trailer’s promise, Netflix may have one of its most talked-about period dramas of the year.
