Jane Austen fans, set your sights to dining at Rosings ninefold, as Netflix's adaptation of Pride and Prejudice has a teaser.
In the 40-second video above, we get our first look at Emma Corrin as Elizabeth Bennet and Jack Lowden as Mr Darcy, the Regency romance protagonists to rival them all. We spy Lizzie embracing the dawn (very Joe Wright version-coded), Darcy on horseback, Darcy seemingly at his grand home of Pemberley watching a carriage leave (very hand flex-coded), flashes of ballroom yearning, and some Gladiator-style hand shots. I wish to say something sensible about the latter, but I know not how.
But that's all we get. Has Netflix no consideration for my poor nerves?
Looks like we'll have to wait for the full trailer to see the rest of the cast, which includes Olivia Colman and Rufus Sewell as Mrs and Mr Bennet, Fiona Shaw as Lady Catherine de Bourg, Freya Mavor as Jane Bennet, Daryl McCormack as Mr. Bingley, Louis Partridge as Mr. Wickham, Jamie Demetriou as Mr. Collins, Rhea Norwood as Lydia Bennet, Siena Kelly as Caroline Bingley, and newcomers Hopey Parish and Hollie Avery as Mary and Kitty Bennet, respectively.
Written by Dolly Alderton (Everything I Know About Love) and directed by Euros Lyn (Heartstopper), the upcoming series will have six episodes, the same number as the iconic 1995 BBC adaptation starring Jennifer Ehle, Colin Firth, and a pond-soaked shirt.
You've still time to plan your feast of exemplary vegetables, as Pride and Prejudice hits Netflix in autumn 2026.
