Emma Corrin stars in ‘Pride and Prejudice.’ (Justin Downing\/Netflix)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Austenites, rejoice: Netflix is too generous to trifle with you or make you wait any longer for a Pride and Prejudice<\/em> trailer.<\/p>\n

After months of teasing, Netflix on Wednesday released<\/a> the first full trailer for the new miniseries based on Austen\u2019s beloved novel.<\/p>\n

We get our first look inside Longbourn, glimpses of the Bennet sisters\u2019 rowdy antics, a peek at Pemberley, and flashes of yearning in the slow-burn romance between Lizzy and Mr. Darcy.<\/p>\n

The new adaptation, written by Dolly Alderton, stars Emma Corrin as protagonist Lizzie Bennet opposite Jack Lowden\u2019s Fitzwilliam Darcy. Freya Mavor plays Lizzie\u2019s older sister and confidant, Jane, with Hollie Avery, Rhea Norwood and Hopey Parish joining as the lively Bennet sisters Kitty, Lydia and Mary, respectively.<\/p>\n

We also see Olivia Colman as the girls\u2019 \u201canimated mother,\u201d as Lizzie so aptly describes her, and Rufus Sewell quite at his leisure as the family patriarch, Mr. Bennet. Rounding out the star-studded cast are\u00a0Daryl McCormack as Mr. Bingley, Louis Partridge as Mr. Wickham and\u00a0Jamie Demetriou as Mr. Collins.<\/p>\n

Alderton tells Netflix\u2019s Tudum her adaptation remains faithful to Austen\u2019s original text, but the format of a miniseries allows for a deeper look into overlooked plotlines and characters.<\/p>\n

\u201cPride and Prejudice is such a timeless story because of the emotions in the book; they are as pertinent now as they were in 1812,\u201d Alderton says. \u201cEmbarrassment of your family, fear that you\u2019re going to get left behind, fear that the world is not going to be a safe place for your children as it was for you, mortification that you judged someone incorrectly or that you had been misjudged. We go to that book to see our hearts reflected in it.\u201d<\/p>\n

All six episodes of the series were written by Alderton and directed by Euros Lyn, who also directed the Netflix series Heartstopper<\/em> and Wayward<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Pride and Prejudice <\/em>will begin streaming on Netflix Dec. 3.<\/p>\n
