While it has no launch date, the next Pride and prejudice The adaptation now has a fully confirmed cast. Olivia Colman and Rufus Sewell will lead the Bennet family, with Emma Corrin, Freya Mavor, Hopey Parish, Holley Avery and Rhea Norwood such as the infamous women of Bennet. Jack Lowden will be our Mr. Darcey, with Daryl McCormack as Mr. Bingley. However, the names do not stop there, with Fiona Shaw playing Lady Catherine de Bourgh and Jamie Demetriou join as Mr. Collins.
However, none of these characters is who I really have a problem. It is possible that there are many adaptations of Jane Austen who have adorned our screens over the years. Of the infamous Pride and prejudice Films that helped to give the story the cultural capital today, to the previous version of Netflix about Austen’s Persuasion That was abused absolutely online, there has been more than anyone could tell. So, surely if you are going to add another title to the battery, it has to be perfect.
While Bennet’s women give in the target, it is Mr. Wickham’s casting that has recovered me. Take out a brick out of the battery and everything falls, and like a lost Jenga game, the casting announcement of Louis Partridge is the one that spoils everything for Netflix.
Louis Partridge is not the right age for Mr. Wickham in the Netflix pride and prejudice remake
If you have read the original book, and almost all books of books in their 20 and 30 years will see the taking of Dolly Alderton with a scathing eye, you will know that Mr. Wickham is an abhorrent man. A manipulative militia officer who (in terms of 2025) is a total disaster, Wickham is better known for predatory behavior, lies and game. In summary, this means that it needs to be a bit larger and more hung than the rest of your cast.
He entered Patridge, 22, who is at least seven years younger than most of his immediate co -star. While his long strands and the chiseled jaw are objectively ideal for a period drama, his baby face and his sweet eyes do not coincide with the abusive personality assigned to him. Although he is an incredibly promising actor, I am not completely convinced that he can achieve it.
Of course, none of this is Partridge’s fault. It is more a testimony of how vague it is the alleged best transmission service in the world when it comes to its adaptations. Considering how Persuasion He spent the last time Netflix tried Austen, he can’t even guarantee a good number of spectators so that production is worth it. So what does the streamer think that can add to the value of one of the most famous fictional IP? I guess I don’t think it is necessary, it is simply riding in the offenses of a well -known story to very few people do not like.
Netflix and Partridge, show that I am wrong. If we really benefit from another Pride and prejudice Adaptation, I am prepared to eat my hood. But if I am right, and I suspect that I am, no casting announcement in the world could save myself from traveling on my high horse.
