First published in 1813, Pride and Prejudice has been adapted for the screen repeatedly over the years, including a 1995 BBC miniseries and the 2005 film starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen. Netflix adapted another Austen novel, Persuasion, in 2022, but the Dakota Johnson-led effort was met with a slew of negative reviews.

Netflix has announced the cast for its upcoming Pride and Prejudice remake, and there’s a complete miscast that reminds me nobody needs more Jane Austen on screen.

The first look at Netflix's upcoming adaptation of Jane Austen's immortal 1813 novel 'Pride and Prejudice' is here! Production on the limited series from author Dolly Alderton is now underway.
