Full trailer for Netflix's Pride And Prejudice introduces the Bennet sisters

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Netflix has been having a rather tough year. With Stranger Things done, its most successful still-running series is likely Bridgerton, a revisionist Regency-era history. So why not go back to the Regency well? That’s what the streamer is doing with its new Pride And Prejudice series, for which we finally get a trailer this morning. The glimpses we get today are certainly energetic, colorful, and charming, with Olivia Colman appearing to be a natural in the role of Mrs. Bennet. 

“Pride And Prejudice is such a timeless story because of the emotions in the book; they are as pertinent now as they were in 1812,” says writer and executive producer Dolly Alderton. “Embarrassment of your family, fear that you’re going to get left behind, fear that the world is not going to be a safe place for your children as it was for you, mortification that you judged someone incorrectly or that you had been misjudged. We go to that book to see our hearts reflected in it.”

The series will also star The Crown alum Emma Corrin as series protagonist Elizabeth Bennet, with potential James Bond Jack Lowden stepping into the role of Mr. Darcy. This Pride And Prejudice will run for six episodes, and premiere on Netflix on December 3.
