Overview
- Multiple UK outlets reported Thursday that the 2005 film Pride and Prejudice will be removed from Netflix on June 20, giving viewers only days to stream it.
- The film was directed by Joe Wright in his feature debut, adapted by Deborah Moggach, and stars Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet and Matthew Macfadyen as Mr Darcy.
- Contemporary coverage highlights the film’s commercial and critical success, noting a reported $121.6 million worldwide gross on a $28 million budget and an 87% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
- The reports do not specify whether the June 20 removal applies worldwide or explain the licensing or contractual reason for the change.
- Streaming removals often follow license expirations or platform reshuffles, so fans are urged to watch now and the film could later reappear on other services though no transfer has been announced.
