Pride and Prejudice Netflix 2025: Full Cast, Creative Team & What to Expect
Netflix has officially revealed the full cast of its highly anticipated 2025 adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice." The six-part limited series, set for release later this year, puts a fresh spin on Jane Austen’s beloved novel with a blend of established stars and rising talent.
Emma Corrin will star as the iconic Elizabeth Bennet, with Jack Lowden taking on the role of the aloof yet compelling Mr. Darcy. Academy Award winner Olivia Colman appears as Mrs. Bennet, while Rufus Sewell has been cast as the wise and wry Mr. Bennet. The Bennet sisters are portrayed by a diverse ensemble: Freya Mavor as Jane, Rhea Norwood as Lydia, Hollie Avery as Kitty, and newcomer Hopey Parish as Mary. Supporting roles include Louis Partridge as Mr. Wickham, Jamie Demetriou as Mr. Collins, Daryl McCormack as Mr. Bingley, Siena Kelly as Caroline Bingley, and Fiona Shaw as Lady Catherine de Bourgh.
On Twitter, @NetflixUK posted the announcement:
“PRIDE & PREJUDICE is officially in production! #PrideAndPrejudiceNetflix” along with a first-look photo of the cast, revealing the new ensemble and igniting discussion across social media. The tweet has been widely shared and quoted by viewers eager for the streaming debut later this year.
The show’s creators have assembled an impressive creative team, with Euros Lyn ("Heartstopper") directing and Dolly Alderton ("Everything I Know About Love") providing the script. Alderton expressed her excitement in a statement, describing the project as a true privilege to bring to life, and promising both familiar and fresh takes on the story. The series aims to honor Austen’s original work while appealing to contemporary audiences.
Production has started in the UK, and first-look images of the Bennet family have drawn widespread praise for their period-authentic costumes and inviting atmosphere. The project brings back classic characters while welcoming newcomers, including Anjana Vasan, Sebastian Armesto, Rosie Cavaliero, and Saffron Coomber in noteworthy supporting roles.
The adaptation comes at a time of renewed interest in Austen’s work, as the 2005 film version celebrates its 20th anniversary. Posts from #PrideAndPrejudice fans on Instagram and TikTok reflect eager anticipation, with users recreating iconic moments and speculating about which scenes from the novel will be reimagined on screen.
With filming underway and the cast set, the 2025 "Pride and Prejudice" series is shaping up to offer a faithful yet vibrant new vision of the literary classic. Expect the buzz to continue building until the official premiere on Netflix later in the year.
