Jack Lowden is set to portray Mr. Darcy in Netflix's new six-episode adaptation of Jane Austen's classic novel, Pride and Prejudice. The series, scheduled for release on December 3, 2026, features Emma Corrin as Elizabeth Bennet and Olivia Colman as Mrs. Bennet. Dolly Alderton penned the adaptation, with Euros Lyn directing.
Principal photography for the period drama was completed starting in July 2025 across multiple UK locations, including Spitalfields in East London and the Peak District in Derbyshire. The town of Rye in East Sussex also served as the fictional village of Meryton.
Notably, Jack Lowden is also being considered for the role of the next James Bond. While he remains a strong candidate, Callum Turner has reportedly overtaken him in betting odds for the 007 role. Lowden currently holds odds of 2/1 for the part.
The Pride and Prejudice adaptation aims for a faithful yet fresh retelling of Austen's beloved story. Corrin and Lowden are also serving as executive producers on the project.
