Dolly Alderton, set to write the series, is certainly no stranger to chronicling the malaise of modern romance, having made her name as something of a modern Jane Austen with her book Everything I Know About Love. Alderton is apparently hoping to pen a ‘progressive’ adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, and is said to be very keen for Emma Corrin to star as Elizabeth Bennet.
