According to reports based on the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Twitter feed, the zombie-romance-classic mashup will be adapted into a 6-part miniseries. As P&P&Z fans, we can’t wait to see this Regency-ninja-zombie thing done right!

The miniseries will evidently be produced by Deadline Productions, which seems relatively legit. We are, however, calling the report unconfirmed, since we’re unsure of the Twitter page‘s authenticity. But IMDB and P&P&Z author Seth Grahame-Smith have mentioned a P&P&Z adaptation, and the Twitter page does have some pretty great concept art (as seen on the left of this post) — so, we’re going to go ahead and celebrate.

Anyone who is a fan of P+P-Z (i.e., the original Pride and Prejudice) knows that the most beloved adaptation is the 6-part 1995 Pride and Prejudice BBC miniseries starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle.

This begs the question of whether the miniseries will be produced as a parody of the much-loved BBC miniseries. We say, bring on the critical disdain!

Breathers, which doesn’t come out until March 3, is already being adapted for film by Geoff LaTulippe. It may not be getting all the buzz of P&P&Z, but it’s got potential.

P&P&Z Author Grahame-Smith

Being a huge fan of both Jane Austen and zombie lit, I was already sold on this book, but if I hadn’t been, the author’s Valentine’s day blog post from Darcy to Elizabeth would’ve sold me.

Seth Grahame-Smith, we’ll be watching you. We like your brains.
