Yet as Zuri and Darius are forced to find common ground, their initial dislike shifts into an unexpected understanding. She especially can’t stand the judgmental and arrogant Darius. When the wealthy Darcy family moves in across the street, Zuri wants nothing to do with their two teenage sons, even as her older sister, Janae, starts to fall for the charming Ainsley. Zuri Benitez has pride-Brooklyn pride, family pride, Afro-Latino pride-but that might not be enough to save her rapidly gentrifying neighborhood from becoming unrecognizable. Ibi Zoboi’s young adult novel Pride is a remix of Jane Austen’s classic Pride and Prejudice set against the gentrification of a Brooklyn neighborhood. It’s still early days, but according to Deadline both Aziza Barnes ( Snowfall, Teenage Bounty Hunters) and Natasha Rothwell ( Insecure) are developing the project, with Barnes writing and both Barnes and Rothwell executive producing. Here’s some good news in 2020-an official adaptation of Ibi Zoboi’s young adult novel Pride is in the works at HBO!
