First look: Netflix reveals glimpse of Emma Corrin's new Pride and Prejudice
In the Jane Austen novel, Elizabeth and her four sisters face pressure to marry rich as their father's property is entailed and can only be passed to a male heir.
A first-look at the production shows the five Bennet sisters in Georgian-era clothing walking in a field alongside their mother.
It was previously announced that Oscar-winning actress Olivia Colman would be playing Elizabeth's mother, Mrs Bennet, with Slow Horses star Jack Lowden starring as the protagonist's love interest, Mr Darcy.
Netflix has announced that Industry star Freya Mavor will play Jane Bennet, with Heartstopper actress Rhea Norwood starring as Lydia Bennet and newcomers Hopey Parish and Hollie Avery playing Mary and Kitty Bennet respectively.
Also joining the cast ensemble is Scoop actor Rufus Sewell as Mr Bennet and comedian and actor Jamie Demetriou as Mr Collins, a clergyman and distant cousin of Mr Bennet's.
Other cast members include Irish actress Fiona Shaw as Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Disclaimer star Louis Partridge as Mr Wickham, Domino Day's Siena Kelly as Caroline Bingley, Irish actor Daryl McCormack as Mr Bingley, Black Mirror's Anjana Vasan as Mrs Gardiner and Marie Antoinette actor Sebastian Armesto as Mr Gardiner.
The six-part series will be a classic adaptation of Austen's novel, written and executive produced by Everything I Know About Love author Dolly Alderton.
There have been many adaptations of Austen's classic across the years including the 2005 film, starring Keira Knightley, which marks its 20th anniversary this year.
In 2024, the shirt worn by Colin Firth when he strode across fields dripping wet after a swim in the lake during the BBC TV adaptation in 1995 sold for £20,000 at a charity auction.
Among the other adaptations is comedy horror film Pride And Prejudice And Zombies, starring Lily James and Matt Smith, which is based on Seth Grahame-Smith's book of the same name.

The Block is back — and this time, the show's playing nice
Is this the nicest (and possibly gayest?) Block yet? If you peeped the first ep of Nine's long-running reality series, you'd have seen this year's crop of hopefuls riding atop some gloriously decorated Pride floats down the main drag of regional Daylesford — a lovely way to kick things off. And so nice that we started this season with a celebration of love and unity as we were introduced to this year's hopefuls, which include lesbian couple Han and Can, along with Robby and his gay bestie, Mat. It felt a far cry from last year's festival of negativity, rumoured adultery and downright mean-girl behaviour (let's never speak of the Phillip Island series again), and this year's contestants look a lovely bunch — particularly WA cop couple Britt and Taz, who I already know I'd let pop me in the back of a paddy wagon. Producers look like they've gone out of their way to make sure this year's Block experience is a positive one for contestants — and viewers. The work site is now shut up every night, with contestants forbidden from toiling away after hours, so no more all-nighters! They're also all staying together in a communal campsite (complete with deluxe caravans) — Kumbaya, anyone? Best of all, they've all been given the building schedule ahead of time, so no nasty budget surprises. That's enough to put a smile on anyone's face, especially WorkSafe and Nine's HR department, who surely weren't looking for a repeat of last year's shenanigans. Scott and Shelley are back hosting The Block. Credit: Supplied I visited the site a few months ago — it's impressive! No spoilers, but know this: Block fans won't be disappointed with the way these houses take shape. Give us ALL the rainbows and unicorns please, The Block. It's about all we can take right now. The Yogurt Shop Murders is coming to Max. Credit: Supplied I am starting to seriously worry about my other half: his streaming algorithms are basically end-to-end true-crime docos. Yikes! Now he can add this excellent four-parter to the watch list. It's all about the murder of four girls at a frozen yoghurt shop in Austin, Texas, back in 1991. Though two people did time for the crime, questions surround the confessions they gave. This is a fascinating look at police investigations, crime reporting and the concept of 'false memory'. But it's the families' stories that make this most impactful — and a devastating watch. Must-see. The Twelve: Cape Rock Killer is headed to Foxtel and Binge. Credit: Supplied This season of The Twelve is set in and around Margaret River, with certified Silver Fox Brett Colby (aka Sam Neill) headed off down south to defend the husband of a pal. This has a stacked cast and great premise. The second season of Wednesday is coming to Netflix. Credit: Jonathan Hession / Netflix Everyone's favourite moody teen is back, skulking the halls of Nevermore Academy on the hunt for more foes to fell. This season her family play a much more central role — can't wait for more Morticia and Gomez! The second season of Platonic is coming to Apple TV Plus. Credit: Supplied I fell hard for this great comedy starring Rose Byrne and Seth Rogan; I'm so pleased it's back. The first two eps of the new season drop this week, then one episode a week till October 1.
