Netflix to develop a Pride and Prejudice Series with Daisy Edgar-Jones set to play Elizabeth Bennet?!
Another Pride and Prejudice related series is rumored to be in development, this time it is said to be from Netflix. Also, Daisy Edgar-Jones is rumored to play Elizabeth Bennet, but of course, that came from the Daily Mail. So, both should be filed under rumors, for now.
Well, “The Other Bennet Sister” BBC series is happening for sure, and according to Deadline, it’ll be airing during BBC’s own P&P 1995’s 30th anniversary in September 2025!As for this Netflix one, according to Variety…
A series based on Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” is in development at Netflix, with “Everything I Know About Love” author Dolly Alderton penning the scripts.
Austen’s most famous novel, “Pride and Prejudice” follows the intelligent yet stubborn Elizabeth Bennet as she learns that love is more powerful than pride or prejudice through her relationship with Mr. Darcy, a man she initially dislikes but eventually falls for. The book, originally published in 1813, has been adapted several times for screen, perhaps most famously in the 2005 film starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen (pictured above) and the BBC’s 1995 miniseries with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle.
There is no cast attached yet and the project has not been greenlit at the streamer.
