In a previous statement, Dolly Alderton described the project as a faithful adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel while aiming to reach a young generation of viewers. She explained that the story remains a key reference for romantic comedy. With the first footage now public, interest in the series continues to grow ahead of its fall 2026 release.
“Jane Austen’s ‘Pride and Prejudice’ is the blueprint for romantic comedy – it has been a joy to delve back into its pages to find both familiar and fresh ways of bringing this beloved book to life. With Euros Lyn directing our stellar cast, I am so excited to reintroduce these hilarious and complicated characters to those who count Pride and Prejudice as their favorite book, and those who are yet to meet their Lizzie and Mr. Darcy,” Alderton said.
