There’s a new Pride & Prejudice adaptation coming, and now, we finally know when. Netflix has revealed that the new six-part miniseries will hit the streamer on December 3, 2026.
Considered a classic of the Regency romance genre, Pride & Prejudice centers on Elizabeth Bennet, a clever and strong-willed young woman who, along with her sisters, must navigate the social pressures of the time to marry in order to secure their futures. Along the way, Elizabeth winds up meeting the curmudgeonly Mr. Darcy, who she immediately forms an antagonistic relationship with, unwitting of Darcy’s own growing affection for her.
The story has been adapted numerous times, including the famous 1995 BBC series starring Colin Firth, as well as a 2005 film starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen. According to Netflix, the series, “will be a faithful, classic adaptation of the novel.”
The series is set to be directed by Euros Lyn, who has worked on fan-favorite series Heartstopper. Lyn will also executive produce along with Corrin, Laura Lankester, Will Johnston, and Louise Mutter.
