Death Comes To Pemberley is a remarkably inventive homage to Jane Austen with an all-star cast, including Anna Maxwell Martin (Elizabeth Bennet), Matthew Rhys (Mr Darcy), Matthew Goode (Mr Wickham), Jenna Coleman (Lydia Wickham), Rebecca Front (Mrs Bennet), James Fleet (Mr Bennet) and Dame Penelope Keith (Lady Catherine de Burgh).
The gripping and suspenseful series begins on the eve of the Darcy’s annual Lady Anne ball at their magnificent Pemberley home. The party are relaxing after supper when the festivities are brought to an abrupt halt.
A scream calls them to the window and a hysterical Lydia Bennet tumbles out of a carriage screaming murder. What follows is the sombre discovery of a dead man in Pemberley woods, with George Wickham - Lydia’s husband and Darcy’s brother in law - found at the scene covered in the dead man’s blood.
So begins a nightmare and mounting scandal which will threaten to engulf Pemberley and all that the Darcys hold dear...
