Emma Corrin is also an executive producer on the project, so they’ve got skin in the game beyond just starring in the show.

The New Posters
A new set of two posters for the series appeared today. The first features Jack Lowden as Mr. Darcy with the word PRIDE over it in large letters, while the complementary poster has Emma Corrin as Elizabeth Bennet with the word PREJUDICE.
As fans of the books and other adaptations, we believe that both Darcy and Elizabeth are proud and prejudiced in their own ways, with both traits mixed within them. In fact, at the end of the day, that’s what makes them such a compelling match.

Who’s Behind the Camera
The series comes from screenwriter and novelist Dolly Alderton, who adapted Austen’s 1813 novel for the screen, with Euros Lyn—who previously directed Heartstopper—behind the camera.
It’s produced by Lookout Point, a BBC Studios subsidiary, with Lisa Osborne producing and Dolly Alderton, Euros Lyn and Emma Corrin all serving as executive producers alongside Laura Lankester and Will Johnston.
When It’s Actually Coming Out
Filming wrapped back in late 2025 after shooting across London and Kent, including Spitalfields, the Peak District and Rye in East Sussex, which is standing in for the fictional town of Meryton.
According to Netflix’s Tudum site, the series is set to premiere Dec. 3, 2026, putting it right in that cozy holiday-watching window.
Netflix has now released the official trailer for the series, which you can watch below. It follows the first teaser that dropped back in February, which gave fans their first look at Emma’s Elizabeth and Jack’s Darcy.
The New Adaptation
Unlike some recent classic-lit adaptations that lean into modern twists, this version of Pride and Prejudice is being described as a faithful, classic take on the story, following the five Bennet sisters as they navigate romance and social pressure when wealthy bachelors move into the neighborhood.
Elizabeth and Darcy’s slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers arc is still very much the heart of it, with family drama and Elizabeth’s evolving feelings about Darcy driving the plot forward, just like in Austen’s original novel.

With a cast this loaded, a Heartstopper director at the helm and a release date locked in for December, this Pride and Prejudice adaptation is shaping up to be one of the buzziest literary series of the year.
Expect more trailers, cast interviews and first-look photos to keep rolling out as the December premiere gets closer.
Austen fans have another adaptation to look forward to, too, as The Other Elliot Sister will follow Elizabeth Elliot from Persuasion.
