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.

The stars join Emma Corrin ( The Crown, Nosferatu) and Jack Lowden ( Slow Horses, Mary Queen of Scots ), who were previously announced as the adaptation's Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy. Olivia Colman ( The Crown, The Favourite) was also revealed as the eternally vexed Bennet matriarch, Mrs. Bennet.

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.
