Variety hears that Jack Lowden is currently in talks to the play the famously aloof romantic hero, one of the literary world’s most iconic characters whose tumultuous relationship with Elizabeth Bennet is at the core of Jane Austen’s 1813 novel.

The upcoming Pride and Prejudice series won't be Netflix’s first stab at an Austen adaptation, with the streamer having previously released an adaptation of Persuasion – which starred Fifty Shades of Grey actor Dakota Johnson in the lead role – back in 2022.
