Moving Forward

Nov 26, 2018

Not wanting to leave the company (or Emma and Alex), Harriet and Bobby try to talk things out so they can still work together.

Overview

ComedyDrama

Jane Austen's Emma Woodhouse, re-imagined as a bold, smart, idealistic, and audacious young entrepreneur with an expertise in life coaching and matchmaking, decides to start documenting her "greatness" for future achievements. Emma partners up with lifelong friend Alex Knightley, whose straight, logical, business mind clashes against Emma constantly, yet is exactly what she needs.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Part of the 2010s 'literary web series' boom alongside Lizzie Bennet Diaries, pioneering transmedia storytelling with in-universe social media accounts.

Insight

Bernie Su specifically cast Brent Bailey after he played a different love interest in Lizzie Bennet — the Knightley recasting became a running fandom joke.
