Thanks to Pride & Prejudice, Bridgerton is about to have a major rival for its fourth season as Netflix is currently in talks to develop a series adaptation of Jane Austen’s most famous novel. Although the series has yet to receive the green light, the script for the new Pride & Prejudice adaptation has been written by Everything I Know About Love creator, Dolly Alderton. There are currently no names attached to the project, according to Deadline, but it is important to note that Pride & Prejudice popularized many of the regency era tropes that can be found in works today.
The Pride & Prejudice structure has been reworked for the screen numerous times with huge success, most notably with the 1995 BBC miniseries starring Colin Firth, and one decade later in the film of the same name, where Matthew Macfadyen and Keira Knightley might be the best portrayals of the infamous Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet. Although Bridgerton has many strengths, several aspects of Chris Van Dusen’s more suggestive period piece are inspired by Austen’s original novel, which may risk audiences turning their attention towards the streaming service’s fresh retelling of the original work – if the projects are to be released at similar times.
Netflix’s Pride & Prejudice TV Show Could Give Bridgerton A Major Rival
The Pride & Prejudice Story Is A Timeless Guaranteed Success
Pride & Prejudice is a story of love and social status that was originally written by Austen in the early 19th century. Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet have arguably become the two most popular characters within the genre, and have amassed a global fanbase. The source material may assure the upcoming series the immediate success that the streaming service is continuously hoping for with its original pieces to avoid further cancelations. Though details of the new adaptation are limited, Netflix is in a unique position to leverage the success of the franchise to provide a modern interpretation of the story.
If the streaming service applies similar attention to detail in the new series adaptation, it will attract similar audiences to rival Bridgerton’s upcoming season.
A modern retelling of Pride & Prejudice’s love story will swiftly differentiate it from previous adaptations, which is something that audiences are eager to see. Bridgerton confirms that this formula can be profitable, and the series is acclaimed for the depictions of intimacy that works like Pride & Prejudice have yet to touch upon. Netflix has an outstanding reputation for producing high-quality period pieces, as evidenced by the Bridgerton universe dominating Netflix’s most watched list. If the streaming service applies similar attention to detail in the new series adaptation, it will attract similar audiences to rival Bridgerton’s upcoming season.
Pride & Prejudice Is The Original Bridgerton & The TV Show Will Prove It
Pride & Prejudice Set The Tone For The Period Piece Romance Genre
BBC OnePride & Prejudice’s story has prevailed far beyond that of Bridgerton, with the latter claiming much of its inspiration from the 1813 novel. In fact, the 2020 Bridgerton series is set in the year that Austen’s novel was published, as a nod to her famous writings. Bridgerton has a number of Easter gggs and references to Pride & Prejudice throughout its three-season run, and some pairings, such as Anthony and Kate’s story in Bridgerton, have similar likenesses to Austen’s original characters. It becomes more than apparent that Bridgerton reinvigorated the genre that Pride & Prejudice first coined.
In 2022, Dolly Alderton adapted her celebrated novel, Everything I Know About Love , into a seven-part series for BBC One and Peacock.
The impending Netflix series will showcase that the Pride & Prejudice franchise surpasses Bridgerton with regard to narrative depth. If her work on Everything I Know About Love is anything to go by, Alderton’s script for the Pride & Prejudice adaptation is likely to feature intricate explorations of the characters’ relationships and their journey of self-discovery. These motifs are central to Bridgerton’s story, but they are mostly consistent, and have become synonymous with, Jane Austen’s classic and infallible story.
