人們談及《傲慢與偏見》時，總會抱怨，說它不夠“虐”。

簡奧斯汀的這部小說描寫了英國攝政時期（1811-1820年）的社會風貌，家喻戶曉，文筆歡快，據RadioTimes網站報道，波爾達克系列的制片公司Mammoth Screen如今正為這部小說發展新的劇情，以適應英國獨立電視公司（ITV）的要求。他們表示，一定會寫出《傲慢與偏見》中“虐”的一面。

另外，Mammoth公司簽下了編劇尼娜雷恩來改寫這部小說，Nina也是今年國家大劇院上演的高分話劇Consent的編劇。

Mammoth 的總經理達米恩·蒂莫說“這是個特殊的時代，觀眾們喜歡復雜的連載劇情，因此，重新改編一下這部劇是有必要的。這部完美的小說在每個時代都應該有不同的版本。”

他還說：“尼娜·瑞恩是當代最有天賦的編劇之一，她的智慧和情商都足以媲美簡·奧斯汀。她雖然是《傲慢與偏見》的忠實粉絲，但卻從來沒看過之前任何改編的版本，因此這部小說只存在于她的想象中，這是令人高興的。”

新版《傲慢與偏見》的播出時間還有待進一步確定。
