A few months ago, I posted about a 2011 novel that
conjectured a mysterious sequel to P&P
called Death Comes to Pemberley. Now,
P.D. James’s Pride and Prejudice mystery
spin is currently being filmed as a three part BBC series. Shooting began in
July after the cast was announced in May.

The series is set to star Matthew Rhys as the
new Mr. Darcy and Anna Maxwell
Martin as Elizabeth/Mrs. Darcy. Also included in the cast is Matthew Goode who
will play the wily Mr. Whickham. Rhys laughs that “The Beauty of Pemberley is
that it is an entirely new and different Darcy six years on. (And also, I don’t
have to appear from a lake in a white shirt and breeches)” referring of course
to Colin Firth’s portrayal in the 1995 version.
Filmed on location at England’s
historic Harewood House
in Yorkshire, the mini series should air on
BBC One sometime early next year.
