THE DOLL FACTORY
PERIOD SET TV SERIES
Paramount + has ordered a six episode TV series adaptation of Elizabeth Macneal's novel THE DOLL FACTORY which will also air on SBS in Australia and
TVNZ. Set in London in 1850, it follows Iris, who paints dolls for a living alongside her twin sister, Rose, and dreams of becoming an artist and by night secretly paints herself naked. Silas is a taxidermist who owns a shop filled with his creations. He dreams of one day finding an item so unique he will be catapulted to fame. Louis is a painter and member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, searching for his next muse. When Iris meets Silas, and then Louis, she is offered an opportunity to escape and start a new life. To do so, she must abandon her sister, sacrifice her reputation, and launch herself into the unknown. But as Iris’ world expands, a story of dark obsession begins to unfold.

Not enough for me to go into Pramount, but I'm glad they are going into the making of period pieces.
ReplyDeleteYes, and going international with productions.
DeleteWhat Malena said. It is one I'd like to watch, but not at the expense of subscribing to Paramount.
ReplyDeleteParamount is getting stronger and stronger and I think it will become more successful soon, unlike Netflix and Peacock. Even HBO is in crisis.
DeleteI know a lot of people are dumping their other streamers in favor of Paramount. There just isn't enough on there for me to justify it at this point, but you know how I like to binge watch shows once they end. I may rethink the subscription in a few years.
DeleteIf they continue developing.
DeleteThis is different! It sounds like a welcomed change from the typical story lines.
ReplyDeleteIt is a bit unusual.
