Which Pride and Prejudice Character Are You?

Learn More About Pride and Prejudice

Netflix’s new Pride and Prejudice arrives on December 3, 2026, as a six-part limited series — the first major screen adaptation of Jane Austen’s 1813 novel since Joe Wright’s 2005 film. Written by novelist Dolly Alderton, it gives the story room to breathe across six episodes, the same longform approach that made the 1995 BBC version with Colin Firth a cultural touchstone.

Emma Corrin (The Crown) stars as Elizabeth Bennet, the sharp-witted second of five sisters, opposite Jack Lowden (Slow Horses) as the proud, guarded Mr. Darcy. Olivia Colman plays the famously nervous, marriage-obsessed Mrs. Bennet, with Rufus Sewell as her dry, book-loving husband Mr. Bennet.

The rest of the Bennet household is filled out by Freya Mavor as gentle eldest sister Jane, Rhea Norwood (Heartstopper) as reckless youngest sister Lydia, and newcomers Hopey Parish and Hollie Avery as Mary and Kitty. Daryl McCormack plays the warm, eligible Mr. Bingley, Louis Partridge plays the charming and dangerous Mr. Wickham, and Jamie Demetriou plays the gloriously awkward Mr. Collins.

The story hasn’t changed in two centuries because it doesn’t need to. With no son to inherit, the Bennet sisters face losing their home, and their mother is determined to marry them off. When the wealthy Mr. Bingley rents a nearby estate, he brings his even wealthier friend Darcy — and a disastrous first meeting at a country ball sets Elizabeth and Darcy on a collision course of misjudgment, pride and slow-burning attraction.

What keeps Pride and Prejudice endlessly re-watchable is its cast of instantly recognizable personalities. Most people know whether they’re a quick-tongued Lizzy, a quietly loyal Darcy, a soft-hearted Jane, a smooth-talking Wickham, or a Mrs. Bennet who has already planned everyone’s wedding. That’s exactly what this quiz is built to figure out.

The new version also lands in a golden era for period romance on streaming. Fans of the Netflix hit can try our Which Bridgerton Character Are You? quiz, while those who love sisterly drama should take Which Little Women Character Are You?
