Netflix gets “Pride” another Pride and Prejudice retelling to be in development as a movie!

While Pride and Prejudice/Austen fandom had been reacting strongly negative to a rumored Netflix P&P series in development, there’s yet another new P&P retelling on its early development titled “Pride” from Alloy Entertainment and The Obama’s Higher Ground Productions producing!

Meanwhile, whatever happened to “Netherfield Girls”?! This was the first contemporary P&P adaptation, a Netflix romcom movie that was announced as in development back in 2021 with “Never Have I Ever” star Maitreyi Ramakrishnan reportedly cast as Lizzie Bennet. Currently, there’s no new update on this one.
