Upcoming Literary Adaptations on Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV+ and More

Netflix is preparing a miniseries adaptation of Jane Austen's classic *Pride and Prejudice*, starring Olivia Colman, though no release date has been confirmed yet. The production will delve into themes of love, fidelity, friendship, and class differences.

Disney+ will premiere *The Testaments*, Margaret Atwood's sequel to *The Handmaid's Tale*, in April. Set years after the original events, it follows the coming-of-age stories of new generations of women in Gilead, the theocratic and totalitarian US republic.

Apple TV+ launches the eight-episode thriller *Mujeres Imperfectas*—based on Araminta Hall's novel of the same name—on 18 March. Starring Elisabeth Moss and Kate Mara, the series centres on a crime that shatters the lives of three women bound by decades of friendship. The first two episodes will be available from launch.

Fans of *Bridgerton* can look forward to the fourth season on Netflix from 29 January. The eight episodes shift focus to Benedict Bridgerton, the family's second son, played by Luke Thompson. He struggles to settle down until encountering a mysterious woman at a masquerade ball.

Prime Video is adapting Isabel Allende's epic *The House of the Spirits* into a series produced by the author herself alongside Eva Longoria. Leading roles go to Dolores Fonzi and Alfonso Herrera.

Meanwhile, Movistar Plus+ has lined up *Ardora*, a five-episode miniseries starring Carolina Yuste and Javier Gutiérrez. Created by Pepe Coira and Fran Araújo, this legal thriller examines how the law can intertwine with personal interests and abuses of power.
