'Pride and Prejudice'-Inspired Reality Dating Show Most Ardently Picked Up at Peacock
A new reality dating show from Peacock is heading to the streaming service with a special twist — this one will be inspired by Jane Austen‘s classic novel Pride and Prejudice. If you’re a fan of her novels, the British Regency period, or the Shondaland hit Bridgerton, then you’ll eat up the series entitled Pride and Prejudice: An Experiment in Romance. Endemol Shine North America developed and will produce the series in association with Shine TV. The creative team behind the series includes Anthony Dominici as the executive producer, joined by Sharon Levy, DJ Nurre, Michael Heyerman, and Susy Price.
Taking a few cues from The Bachelorette, a group of eligible suitors will compete to win the heart of an Austen-like heroine and her ton. The contestants will be housed in a remote castle and experience romantic dates like carriage and boat rides, while learning archery and writing besotted handwritten letters. I’m also hopeful that the contestants will don a posh affect to their old-timey accents.
