Austen classic gets Netflix makeover

Oscar-winning actress Colman, 51, will play Mrs Bennet, the mother of Elizabeth Bennet (Corrin), who meets single, rich, and proud Mr Darcy, played by Slow Horses star Lowden.

The Crown actress Corrin, 29, said: "Playing Elizabeth Bennet is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"To be able to bring this iconic character to life, alongside Olivia and Jack, with Dolly's phenomenal scripts, is truly the greatest honour.

"I can't wait for a new generation to fall in love with this story all over again."

The six-part series will be written by Everything I Know About Love author Dolly Alderton and directed by Heartstopper’s Euros Lyn.
