The Doll Factory by Elizabeth Macneal Released on Paramount+

The Doll Factory based on the intoxicating novel by Elizabeth Macneal has debuted on Paramount+ as an original series “full of great performances and slow-burning tension,” says The Guardian. “It’s a solid slab of Victoriana that keeps you guessing.”

Starring Esmé Creed-Miles (Hanna) as Iris, Éanna Hardwicke (The Sixth Commandment, Normal People) as Silas, Mirren Mack (Sex Education, The Witcher: Blood Origin) as Rose, and George Webster (Wedding Season) as Louis, the series has already earned a spot in the Paramount+ Top 10 Trending Shows.

Set in London in 1850, The Doll Factory tells the story of Iris, who paints dolls for a living alongside her twin sister, Rose, and dreams of becoming an artist. 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. The Doll Factory is an intoxicating and evocative thriller exploring obsession, jealousy, art, passion and the disempowerment of women.

Produced by Buccaneer Media (Marcella, Crime and Whistable Pearl), all six-parts of the series are available to stream in the UK and public broadcasters SBS in Australia and New Zealand’s TVNZ have pre-bought the series with Cineflix handling further international distribution.

We have no doubt you’ll want to binge this series. Congratulations to Elizabeth and everyone who helped bring this amazing story to life. Watch the full trailer and head to Paramount+ to stream now!
