Emma Corrin, Jack Lowden Film Netflix Pride, Prejudice in Derbyshire

Emma Corrin and Jack Lowden have been spotted filming Netflix's new six-part adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice in the Peak District, Derbyshire, with the series set to air in early 2026. Corrin stars as the spirited Elizabeth Bennet, while Lowden portrays the brooding Mr Darcy, with both actors capturing the emotional intensity of their characters in dramatic moorland scenes. The adaptation, written by Dolly Alderton and directed by Euros Lyn, features a notable cast including Olivia Colman as Mrs Bennet and Rufus Sewell as Mr Bennet. Despite anticipation, the production has sparked controversy for omitting the iconic “lake scene” from the 1995 BBC version, reportedly to avoid “objectifying men,” which has led to online backlash from fans. Corrin expressed excitement about the role, describing it as a "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity to bring this classic romantic story to a new generation. The series aims to remain faithful to Austen’s original novel, highlighting its blend of drama, comedy, and social commentary.
