Jane Austen Stories

Streaming on Spotify

From My Fair Lady to The Princess Diaries to Bridgerton, Julie Andrews has reigned at the cross-section of romance and comedy. Her ease and expertise are now on full display in a 25-episode narration of one of the most beloved romantic comedies of all time: Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy take shape yet again in the crisp diction of Dame Julie. The series is timed to two anniversaries: it is 250 years since the birth of Austen, and Andrews celebrates her 90th birthday this year. —Paulina Prosnitz
