The Crown star Emma Corrin can be seen embodying Elizabeth Bennet in a first-look image for Netflix’s adaptation of Pride And Prejudice. In the Jane Austen novel, Elizabeth and her four sisters face pressure to marry rich as their father’s property is entailed and can only be passed to a male heir.

After a minor role in family film favourite Paddington, Partridge, who will play Mr Darcy’s rival Mr Wickham, broke through with roles in Netflix adventure film Enola Holmes and Pistol, in which he played Sex Pistols musician Sid Vicious. Past actors to have played Mr Wickham include Adrian Lukis and Rupert Friend.
