On June 1, the Lifetime movie Pride & Prejudice: Atlanta will debut at 8 PM.
In a contemporary adaptation of the Jane Austen classic, the movie follows Reverend Bennet (Reginald VelJohnson from Family Matters), a pastor of a prominent southern Baptist church and his wife Mrs. Bennet (Jackée Harry from Sister, Sister), who is the author of a self-help book on how to find the perfect husband.
Needless to say, Mrs. Bennet is less than thrilled that all five of their daughters, Lizzie (Tiffany Hines from Toni Braxton: Unbreak My Heart), Jane (Raney Branch from Being Mary Jane), Mary (Brittney Level from The Purge), Lydia (Reginae Carter from Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta) and Kitty (newcomer Alexia Bailey), are still single.
When the very eligible Will Darcy (Juan Antonio from Empire) arrives in town, Mrs. Bennet sets her sights on the handsome bachelor for daughter Lizzie, leading to a modern-day, comedic take on themes familiar to fans of the novel.
Here is a trailer for Pride & Prejudice: Atlanta:
