The story is a continuation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and
stars Matthew Rhys as Mr Darcy, who says he will be portraying a very
different character to that portrayed by Colin Firth.
Although far removed
from the original tome, international bestseller Death Comes To
Pemberley imagines the marriage of Elizabeth Bennett - played by Anna
Maxwell Martin - and Darcy (Rhys) six years on from their initial union.
Jenna Coleman is to star as Lizzie’s sister – and Wickham’s wife – Lydia, who
arrives at Pemberley one night, six years after the conclusion of
Austen’s novel, screaming that her husband has been murdered.
The three-part BBC
adaptation of the novel will air over the Christmas period, and was
timed to coincide with the 200th anniversary of the publication of Jane
Austen classic, Pride and Prejudice.
