The caption read, "We know you've been yearning for a sneak peek. Pride & Prejudice is officially in production. Here's a first look featuring Emma Corrin, Freya Mavor, Olivia Colman, Hopey Parish, Rhea Norwood, and Hollie Avery as the Bennet women."

This new take on the Jane Austen classic is written by bestselling author Dolly Alderton and directed by Heartstopper’s Euros Lyn. The six-part series promises to stay true to the original novel, following the slow-burn romance between Elizabeth Bennet and the wealthy, brooding Mr Darcy.

Before this, the story was adapted into a beloved 1995 TV series, followed by the iconic 2005 film starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen.
