I firmly imagine that, like Little Ladies and Wuthering Heights, each era will get the Satisfaction & Prejudice they deserve. For individuals who got here of age within the mid-’90s, that was the fantastic BBC adaptation starring a note-perfect Jennifer Ehle and a wet-white-shirt-wearing Colin Firth. For these, like me, who grew up within the aughts, it was Joe Wright’s ravishing, Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen-led effort. (That is nonetheless, in my humble opinion, the very best tackle this literary basic.) And now, Gen Z is about to have their very own: a six-part restricted sequence reimagining of Jane Austen’s scintillating romp is coming to Netflix. And the forged is to die for.
On April 10, 2025, it was introduced by the streamer that interval drama common Emma Corrin (The Crown, Girl Chatterley’s Lover, Nosferatu) can be taking the hotly contested a part of Elizabeth Bennet, whereas Jack Lowden (Saoirse Ronan’s husband and the star of Conflict & Peace, Mary Queen of Scots, Benediction, and Sluggish Horses), can be the inscrutable Mr. Darcy. As for the function of the splendidly foolish (and more and more determined) Mrs. Bennet? None apart from Oscar winner Olivia Colman, Corrin’s fellow Crown alumni, will slip into her frilly bonnet.
Extra casting information adopted on July 29: The Vacation, Scoop, and The Diplomat’s Rufus Sewell would be the wry Mr. Bennet; Trade’s Freya Mavor would be the angelic Jane Bennet; Heartstopper’s Rhea Norwood would be the flighty Lydia; and up to date graduates Hollie Avery and Hopey Parish will make their display screen debuts because the giggly Kitty and the somber Mary, respectively.
Then there’s web boyfriend Louis Partridge because the dastardly Mr. Wickham; Fleabag and The Second’s Jamie Demetriou because the humorless Mr. Collins; Dangerous Sisters’ Daryl McCormack because the kindly Mr. Bingley; and the formidable Fiona Shaw because the terrifying Girl Catherine de Bourg, so memorably embodied by Dame Judi Dench within the 2005 model.
The supporting forged is rounded out by Domino Day’s Siena Kelly because the glamorous Caroline Bingley; We Are Girl Components’ Anjana Vasan because the Bennet sisters’ aunt, Mrs. Gardiner; The Tudors’ Sebastian Armesto as her husband, Mr. Gardiner; Rosie Cavaliero as Girl Lucas; Justin Edwards as Sir William Lucas; Saffron Coomber as Mrs. Hurst, Bingley’s different sister; James Dryden as Mr. Hurst; James Northcote as Colonel Forster; Eloise Webb as Harriet Forster; and Isabella Sermon because the luminous Georgiana Darcy.
