Pride and Prejudice OTT release: Emma Corrin, Jack Lowden lead as Lizzy and Darcy in new teaser. When and where to watch Jane Austen adaptation in India

Nearly every decade finds a new Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy for audiences to fall in love with, and 2026 is no exception. Emma Corrin steps into the role of Elizabeth Bennet, while Jack Lowden plays the brooding Mr Darcy in a fresh screen adaptation of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. The first teaser has now been unveiled, giving fans a glimpse of what promises to be a restrained and emotionally layered retelling.

Streaming details of Pride and Prejudice

The six-part series will stream on Netflix and is slated for release in 2026. The platform dropped the teaser on February 25, confirming that Indian viewers will also be able to watch the adaptation upon its global premiere. While an exact release date is yet to be announced, the project is already generating strong buzz among fans of classic literature and period dramas.

Written by Dolly Alderton, the series is being described as a faithful return to Austen’s original text. Promotional material suggests that the makers are focusing closely on the novelist’s wit, social commentary and emotional subtlety rather than adding modern twists. The intention, as highlighted in early notes about the show, is to honour the spirit of the book while presenting it for contemporary audiences.



The teaser itself avoids loud spectacle. Instead, it leans into mood and atmosphere. It opens with Elizabeth perched on a rooftop under a grey English sky, setting a contemplative tone. There are glimpses of galloping horses, stolen glances and Darcy’s dramatic arrival on horseback. The chemistry between Corrin and Lowden is portrayed through silence and tension rather than dramatic declarations.

A Regency-era ball, essential to any Pride and Prejudice adaptation, also features briefly. The dance sequence focuses on charged pauses and expressive body language. Letters, wildflowers and subtle gestures hint at the slow-burn romance that defines Elizabeth and Darcy’s journey.

The supporting cast adds further weight to the project. Olivia Colman takes on the role of Mrs Bennet, while Tanya Reynolds plays Lydia Bennet. Emily Beecham appears as Jane Bennet, and Jim Broadbent portrays Mr Bennet. The ensemble blends experienced performers with fresh energy, giving the adaptation both credibility and novelty.

This new version arrives nearly two decades after the 2005 film adaptation, making it the first major screen retelling of Austen’s beloved novel in 20 years. At a time when classic literature is finding renewed popularity on streaming platforms, the series aims to bridge nostalgia and discovery.

For long-time Austen admirers, it offers a chance to revisit Hertfordshire’s drawing rooms and complicated courtships. For a new generation, it could be the perfect introduction to one of fiction’s most enduring love stories. Stay tuned!
