A Jane Austen Anthology Series is in the Works at The CW

The CW, a network that is best known for its superhero series based on DC comic book properties and teen-focused dramas like Riverdale, is working on a new anthology series based on the works of none other than Jane Austen.

Yes, really.

Currently titled Modern Austen, the anthology series will reimagine Austen's beloved novels as six modern stories, offering a kaleidoscopic look at love and family in our time of inequality and disconnection. Each season will be focused on a different novel, beginning with Pride and Prejudice, set in contemporary San Francisco.
