What We Know About The Upcoming Netflix Adaptation
Dolly Alderton told Netflix that once every generation, a group of people gets to retell the story of Pride and Prejudice, and the team is lucky to be part of it. Calling the novel “the blueprint for romantic comedy,” she said the adaptation will see familiar and fresh ways of bringing the book to life.
The screenwriter praised the book’s themes and noted that it offers the opportunity to examine the complexities of love, family, friendship, and society. This new adaptation thus reintroduces the nuanced and complicated characters to old and new readers and viewers of the story.
The series is set to premiere this year. However, a definite date has not yet been disclosed.
