What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWhat a day to be in America!

  2. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNetflix has set December third for its six-part Pride and Prejudice, with Emma Corrin as Elizabeth Bennet and Jack Lowden as Mr. Darcy.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOlivia Colman is Mrs. Bennet, and Dolly Alderton wrote it. Euros Lyn, who directed Heartstopper, is directing.

  4. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHere's what I'd ask as a viewer. Netflix announced this in April of twenty twenty-five, so the first look took eighteen months.

  5. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorIs that how long it takes to trim a book that's already written?

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorEighteen months isn't a delay, Chip. They're just taking their time with it.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorDolly Alderton says that once in a generation, a group of people get to retell this story, and she feels very lucky.

  8. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOnce in a generation. And this is a faithful adaptation of a book from eighteen thirteen.

  9. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWhich gives it a very loyal audience. Nine out of ten.

  10. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNetflix says it's faithful, so I'm not worried about spoilers. The ending's been out since eighteen thirteen.
