Pride and Prejudice cast: Who stars in Netflix's 2026 drama?
The trailer for Netflix's anticipated Pride and Prejudice adaptation is upon us and paired with the ongoing Bond rumours circulating around its star Jack Lowden, period drama fans have been left in an excited frenzy.
Adapted by writer Dolly Alderton, the Austen tale sees Slow Horses star Lowden and The Crown's Emma Corrin heading up the cast, with plenty of other starry names filling out the ensemble.
It's far from the first time that Jane Austen's 1813 novel has been brought to life, with the slow-burn Regency romance between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy proving to stand the test of time.
The six-parter doesn't premiere until this December but as chatter continues to be set alight around the new series, read on for everything we know so far about the actors and characters appearing in the drama.
