First Look

FIRST LOOK: Emma Corrin, Jack Lowden and Olivia Colman head the starry cast of Pride and Prejudice, a new adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic novel coming to Netflix on December 3, 2026.

Corrin plays Elizabeth Bennet, Lowden is Mr Darcy and Colman is Mrs Bennet, with Rufus Sewell as Mr Bennet, Freya Mavor as Jane Bennet, Daryl McCormack as Mr Bingley, Jamie Demetriou as Mr Collins, Louis Partridge as Mr Wickham, Rhea Norwood as Lydia Bennet, Hopey Parish as Mary Bennet and Hollie Avery as Kitty Bennet.

When wealthy bachelors arrive in their neighbourhood, the five Bennet sisters must navigate love, family, and society’s expectations to secure their futures. Jane falls for the charming Mr Bingley, while Elizabeth clashes with his proud friend Mr Darcy – but unexpected encounters and family scandals force Elizabeth to reconsider her feelings and discover the true nature of love.

"Woman in historical dress standing in a field with tall grass, trees in the background, and a cloudy sky, creating a calm, pastoral setting."

"A man in historical clothing stands outdoors with a serious expression, wearing a vest over a white shirt, with hills and trees in the blurred background under a cloudy sky."

"A man dressed in historical formal attire smiles warmly in a softly lit, elegant interior, likely from a period drama setting."

"Two women in period dresses run joyfully on a gravel path in front of a large brick house with ivy and flowers, surrounded by hedges and gardens under a partly cloudy sky."

"A young woman with curly red hair in a vintage dress sits at a piano in a softly lit, elegant room with candles and sheet music, holding a music sheet and looking contemplative."

"Older man with curly gray hair and glasses sits in an ornate, vintage room holding a book, surrounded by antique furnishings, with an armillary sphere and staircase in the background, evoking a historical or scholarly atmosphere."

"A smiling woman in period costume sits on a couch in a vintage, elegant living room with teal walls, antique furniture, framed art, and a flower vase in the background."

"Young man in red historical military uniform smiles in foreground, with other soldiers and townspeople gathered outside a brick building with arches in a period village setting, evoking a historical or Regency-era atmosphere."

"A man in early 19th-century attire with sideburns smiles in a warmly lit, vintage room with floral wallpaper, framed paintings, and a window in the background."
