Sewell will play Mr. Bennet with Partridge portraying Mr. Wickham and McCormack Mr Bingley in Dolly Alderton's adaptation of the beloved Jane Austen novel.

Then there’s internet boyfriend Louis Partridge as the dastardly Mr. Wickham; Fleabag ’s Jamie Demetriou as the humorless Mr. Collins; Bad Sisters ’ Daryl McCormack as the kindly Mr. Bingley; and the formidable Fiona Shaw as the terrifying Lady Catherine de Bourg, so memorably embodied by Dame Judi Dench in the 2005 version.
