Emma Corin and co-star Jack Lowden were spotted filming the new Pride and Prejudice series in\u00a0The Peak District, Derbyshire on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Emma, who plays\u00a0feisty Elizabeth Bennet, joined Jack, who stars as Mr Darcy, on set to film their version of Jane Austen’s Regency drama, which airs early next year.<\/p>\n

Buffeted by the wind as he strides across the moors, Jack cut a rugged figure as Mr Darcy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And Crown star Emma was just as windswept in a billowing grey silk dress worn with an empire line long-sleeved floral jacket and lace-up ankle boots.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Scot wore a long grey frock coat over a black waistcoat and riding breeches, a white high-neck shirt and calf-length boots.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He even seemed to have perfected the trademark sneer of Darcy, who Austen described as \u2018the proudest, most disagreeable man in the world\u2019.<\/p>\n
