Pride and Prejudice soundtrack (2026) Overview
The series adapts Jane Austen’s classic novel, with Dolly Alderton writing and Euros Lyn directing for Lookout Point. Netflix describes the project as a faithful, classic take on the story.
The teaser’s birdsong and rising music set a warm, pastoral tone. The official trailer, released on October 28, 2026, carried that mood into the first extended look at the Bennet family.
Readers following Netflix’s period-drama slate can also explore our guides to the Persuasion soundtrack (2022), the Bridgerton Season 4 soundtrack (2026), and the Sanditon soundtrack. Another classic romance is covered in our Wuthering Heights soundtrack (2026) article.
The story has a rich screen-music history. The 1995 BBC series featured a score by Carl Davis, whose opening theme, “Meet the Family,” is still instantly recognizable. The opening title music was performed on piano by Melvyn Tan.
The 2005 film followed with a score by Dario Marianelli, performed by pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet and the English Chamber Orchestra. Released by Decca Records on November 15, 2005, the soundtrack earned Marianelli an Oscar nomination for Best Original Score.
That 2005 score keeps finding new listeners. Decca Classics is issuing it in October in a fan box edition, a flower-decorated vinyl, and a split-color cassette.
