More than two centuries after its first publication, Jane Austen’s beloved novel Pride and Prejudice—her second work following Sense and Sensibility—continues to prove its timeless appeal. Widely regarded as one of the most frequently adapted literary works for the screen, Austen’s iconic tale of love, wit, and societal expectations has taken many forms over the years.
From faithful renditions like the 2005 film starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen—which marks its 20th anniversary this month with a celebratory return to theaters to modern reinterpretations like Bridget Jones’s Diary, the story remains a cultural cornerstone. Now, it’s set for a new revival.
A six-part limited series adaptation is officially in the works, with Netflix bringing the Regency-era rom-com to a global audience once again. The upcoming production promises to reimagine the story for today’s viewers while honoring the enduring essence of Austen’s vision.
