Pride and Prejudiceun stellar cast for a new generation
The new faces of Pride and prejudice they will be Emma Corrinas Elizabeth Bennet, and Jack Lowden as the tormented Mr. Darcy. The teaser offers the first clues about the series: setting and look. Elizabeth appears sitting on the roof of the Bennet house, with the sun setting behind her; Darcy arrives on horseback, enigmatic and proud.
Corrin, known for her portrayal of Lady Diana in The Crownseems to fit this role perfectly. Intensity and ironywhich belong to the actress, are fundamental for a faithful surrender of the young and rebellious Bennet.

Especially if the comparison is with Colin Firth.
But there’s no point in bandaging your head before falling. The cast promises well: Olivia Colman It’s Mrs. Bennet, Rufus Sewell plays Mr. Bennet, Freya Mavor It’s Jane Bennet, Jamie Demetriou Mr. Collins and Daryl McCormack Mr. Bingley. All ready to bring the Bennet family and their social intrigues to life.

With Euros Lyn as director, I can’t wait to reintroduce these complex and entertaining characters to those who love them and to those who will meet them for the first time.” The teaser already confirms a certain amount of care in the direction and photography: Elizabeth blushing at the sound of hooves on the dirt road, Darcy appearing against the light, elegant and detailed interiors, true to the era Regency. A retelling that mixes classic romance and modern sensitivity, with attention to the emotional nuances of the characters.
