Lifetime is looking for a new Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy.
The female-skewing cable network is teaming with Jennifer Love Hewitt to develop Darcy's Town, a modern retelling of Jane Austen's literary classic Pride and Prejudice set in a small Virginia town, The Hollywood Reporter said.
Pride and Prejudice, first published in 1813, is set in 19th century England and revolves around the Bennet family and Elizabeth's love affair with Mr. Darcy. Lifetime's Darcy's Town marks the second Austen reimagining this development season.
