Step aside, “Bridgerton”: Netflix is returning to the classics. Jane Austen’s iconic novel “ Pride and Prejudice ” will be adapted into a Netflix limited series, with Emma Corrin, Jack Lowden, and Olivia Colman starring.

The streamer’s Pride and Prejudice is written by Dolly Alderton ( Everything I Know About Love) and directed by Euros Lyn ( Heartstopper ), who also executive produces with Corrin, making their EP debut, Laura Lankester, Will Johnston and Louise Mutter for Lookout Point. Lisa Osborne produces.

The writer is Dolly Alderton, who won a National Book Award for her novel Everything I Know About Love and who absolutely loves Austen's book. It's "the blueprint for romantic comedy," she says, and "the book is a gift to adapt – packed with drama and depth as well as comedy and charm".
