Yes, another Pride and Prejudice. But this one has the brilliant Dolly Alderton writing it, Emma Corrin as Elizabeth Bennet, Jack Lowden as Mr. Darcy and Olivia Colman as Mrs. Bennet, which has us excited to return to Longbourn.

Just as excited as we were for Greta Gerwig’s reimagining of Wuthering Heights, so we are for Alderton to find fresh relevance for a new generation. On Netflix from December 3.
