Video: Beloved 'Lizzie Bennet Diaries' ends its run

Whitney Matheson | USATODAY

About a year ago, I recommended a web series that was clever, original and addictive called The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. Created by Hank Green and Bernie Su, the series offered a modern-day version of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, told through confessional videos.

Today marks the end of an era as Lizzie wraps with its 100th episode:

Just how popular did Lizzie Bennet become? Well, a Kickstarter offering DVDs of the series has raised more than $300,000. (The goal was $60,000.) The first episode has been viewed more than 1 million times on YouTube. And, to fans' delight, the creators are planning to launch a new series this summer.

Welcome to Sandition will be based on one of Austen's unfinished novels and take place in a beach town "as it attempts to revitalize itself into a modern resort destination." Not much more has been revealed, but the official site teases details soon and a May launch date.
