Every generation is blessed with their own adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Twenty years after Joe Wright‘s 2005 feature adaptation became an instant classic, Netflix is reviving the beloved novel with a six-episode limited series, with Emma Corrin and Jack Lowden set as Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy.

The Netflix adaptation marks the first time in 30 years Pride and Prejudice is back in television form. The 1995 BBC miniseries catapulted Colin Firth to stardom. A decade after that, Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen stole our hearts with their wonderful portrayals of Lizzy and Mr. Darcy.
