Netflix’s ‘Pride and Prejudice’ Series Reveals First Look at the Bennet Sisters, Rounds Out Cast With Rufus Sewell, Louis Partridge, Rhea Norwood and More

Olivia Colman’s casting in a new adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice fails to excite, as the prospect of another basic remake feels dull. However, the writer is urged to take inspiration from modern adaptations like Bridget Jones to reinvent the story. With a legacy of successful adaptations, the new series must offer something different to stand out. Despite initial skepticism, the cast announcement offers some hope for a creative twist on the classic tale.
