Paramount Plus for United Kingdom and Northern Ireland has finally released trailer  for their period set British original mini television series THE DOLL FACTORY which will stream on Paramount Plus with the launch date set for Monday, November 27th. The six episode small screen adaptation of the best selling novel by Elizabeth Macneal will also air on TV New Zealand, and on SBS as well for the Australian audience from December 7th.
STORY IS SET IN LONDON, 1851
Iris (Esme Creed Miles) paints dolls for a living, alongside her twin sister, Rose (Mirren Mack), but dreams of becoming an artist. By night, she secretly paints herself naked, honing her craft. Silas (Eanna Hardwicke whom we watched earlier this summer in The Six Commandment series) is a taxidermist who owns a shop filled with his creations. He hopes to one day find an item so unique he will be catapulted to fame. Louis (George Webster) is a painter and member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, searching for his next muse. In a city humming with anticipation for the Great Exhibition, their three worlds collide, and Iris 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. As Iris’ world expands, she finds herself challenging patriarchal beliefs, exploring her sexuality, and starting to experience the things she has always dreamed of. But alongside her newfound independence, a story of dark obsession begins to unfold. Pippa Haywood, Sharlene Whyte, Reece Kenwyne-Mpudzi, Freddy Carter, Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Laurie Kynaston, Jim Caesar, Akshay Khanna, Aysha Kala and Nell Hudson also star. Check out the trailer below and tell us what you think:

  1. Never knew that doll painting is a career...is she an artist or simply a doll maker (this sounds creepy though because it reminds me of psycho thriller Doll Maker I read a while ago).

    1. Dolls were a huge thing in Victorian age, they also made furniture and houses for them extremely lavishly, and they also had elaborate paper dolls sold in newspapers each week, not just ladies but also soldiers, kings and queens, animals, whole families and homes, it was a passtime for kids back then when they did not have toys.

  2. I love watching current artists strip Barbie and paint her into a new creation. Hexitan is a favorite of mine. Looking forward to this one.

    1. I have seen a few of those on Facebook. There is also a designer who designs custom made barbies with heute couture limited collection gowns like for real ladies.
