人们谈及《傲慢与偏见》时，总会抱怨，说它不够“虐”。

简奥斯汀的这部小说描写了英国摄政时期（1811-1820年）的社会风貌，家喻户晓，文笔欢快，据RadioTimes网站报道，波尔达克系列的制片公司Mammoth Screen如今正为这部小说发展新的剧情，以适应英国独立电视公司（ITV）的要求。他们表示，一定会写出《傲慢与偏见》中“虐”的一面。

另外，Mammoth公司签下了编剧尼娜雷恩来改写这部小说，Nina也是今年国家大剧院上演的高分话剧Consent的编剧。

Mammoth 的总经理达米恩·蒂莫说“这是个特殊的时代，观众们喜欢复杂的连载剧情，因此，重新改编一下这部剧是有必要的。这部完美的小说在每个时代都应该有不同的版本。”

他还说：“尼娜·瑞恩是当代最有天赋的编剧之一，她的智慧和情商都足以媲美简·奥斯汀。她虽然是《傲慢与偏见》的忠实粉丝，但却从来没看过之前任何改编的版本，因此这部小说只存在于她的想象中，这是令人高兴的。”

新版《傲慢与偏见》的播出时间还有待进一步确定。
