The greatest love story continuesโฆ with even more pride.
After years of speculation and fan-driven campaigns, Pride & Prejudice 2: Pride Harder has emerged as one of the most anticipated cinematic events of the decade. Reuniting Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen as Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, this sequel picks up years after the original 2005 filmโdiving into their married life, evolving challenges, and the unyielding power of love and wit.
Greenlit in early 2024 and boasting a bold $85 million budget, the production spared no expense. From sweeping English countryside locations to richly detailed Regency-era sets and couture-authentic costuming, the film’s visual storytelling is as lavish as its emotional core. The craftsmanship not only honors the originalโs aesthetic but elevates it for a new era.
Timed perfectly for Valentineโs Day 2026, the release capitalizes on the franchiseโs romantic legacy. The first trailerโreleased in July 2025โimmediately set social media ablaze, tapping into fan nostalgia while teasing fresh storylines and new faces in the world of Pemberley. Advance ticket sales shattered expectations, with many showings sold out weeks before the premiere.
Upon release, Pride Harder became a phenomenon, earning over $300 million globally in its first month. Critics applauded its sparkling script, emotional richness, and the enduring chemistry between Knightley and Macfadyen. Audiences fell in love all over againโnot just with Darcy and Elizabeth, but with a sequel that dared to deepen, not simply repeat, a literary classic.
Elegant, bold, and unforgettableโPride & Prejudice 2 is not just a continuation, but a triumph.
Sometimes love begins with pride. Sometimes it ends with more.
