PRIDE AND PREJUDICE Series in Development at Netflix

by

As a self-proclaimed Austen aficionado who’s lost count of the number of times I’ve rewatched the 2005 Pride and Prejudice film, I must admit that my skepticism is running high regarding Netflix‘s upcoming adaptation. With Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfayden’s chemistry etched into the annals of romance film history, it’s a tough act to follow. However, if there’s one thing I’ve learned from my years of binge-watching period dramas, it’s that hope springs eternal – or at least until the next cancellation notice comes rolling in.

There are some stories that will continue to get adaptations from now until the literal world ends. One of them is Pride and Prejudice, the Jane Austen novel that’s been adapted for many film, television, and theater productions. According to Variety, Netflix now has a Pride and Prejudice series in development with Everything I Know About Love author Dolly Alderton to pen the script.

It seems there’s no additional news about the Netflix “Pride and Prejudice” series at this time. As of now, it hasn’t been given the go-ahead, and no cast members have been linked with the project. Frankly, I find it hard to imagine anything surpassing the 2005 movie starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfayden. However, who knows? It might still turn out to be an enjoyable adaptation. Strangely enough, I found “Pride & Prejudice: Atlanta” on Lifetime quite engaging, mainly because Jackee Harry was exceptional in it.

If Netflix picks it up, viewers should cross their fingers for a mini-series format. While Netflix has a reputation for canceling shows after just one season, it’s more recognized for producing long-lasting content. Let’s wait and see what unfolds.
