Netflix Announces Full Cast Of ‘Pride And Prejudice,’ Including Rufus Sewell, Freya Mavor, And Louis Partridge

It’s not even out yet, and Netflix’s new series adaptation of Pride and Prejudice has already bewitched us, body and soul. Just as the new show based on the classic Jane Austen novel kicks off production in the UK, Netflix finally clues us in on all the members of its star-studded cast.

Let’s start off with the Bennets. Strap in, everyone — this is going to be a lot of names. Deadline reports that the six-part limited series will feature The Diplomat star Rufus Sewell as Mr. Bennet, the strong patriarch of the Bennet family. Sewell will act alongside Olivia Colman (The Crown), who will play Mrs. Bennet as Netflix has previously announced.

Filling out the rest of the Bennet family, we have Heartstopper’s Rhea Norwood as Lydia and Freya Mavor (Industry) as Jane. We also have two fresh-faced actresses, Hopey Parish and Hollie Avery, making their onscreen debuts as Mary and Kitty respectively. But who will play the starring role of Elizabeth Bennet? None other than Emma Corrin (Nosferatu) as previously announced by Netflix. Corrin will act out her searing historical enemies-to-lovers romance with Jack Lowden (Slow Horses) as the awkward yet charming Mr. Darcy. 

To round out the rest of our main cast, we have Jamie Demetriou (Stath Lets Flats) acting as Mr. Collins, and Louis Partridge (Disclaimer) playing the role of the conniving Mr. Wickham. Joining them will be Killing Eve’s Fiona Shaw as the terrifying Lady Catherine de Bourg, Daryl McCormack (Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery) as Jane’s true love Mr. Bingley, and Siena Kelly (Black Mirror) as his sister Caroline. 

Members of the supporting cast include Sebastian Armesto (Gangs of London) and Anjana Vasan (We Are Lady Parts) and as Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner, along with Rosie Cavaliero (KAOS) as Lady Lucas. James Dryden (Time Bandits) and Saffron Coomber (Three Little Birds) will play Mr. and Mrs. Hurst. We will also see Justin Edwards (The Franchise) as Sir William Lucas, James Northcote (Fool Me Once) as Colonel Forster, Eloise Webb (The Queen’s Gambit) as Harriet Forster, and Isabella Sermon (Jurassic World: Dominion) as Georgiana Darcy.

Stay tuned for more updates on the new Pride and Prejudice series, coming soon to Netflix.
