Summary
Young American women cause a commotion among 1870s English aristocracy in a music-driven period drama created by Katherine Jakeways and directed by Susanna White, which is inspired by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Edith Wharton's unfinished final novel. Led by an all-female creative team, the series focuses on the exploits of Conchita Closson (Alisha Boe), Lizzy Elmsworth (Aubri Ibrag), Mabel Elmsworth (Josie Totah), Jinny St George (Imogen Waterhouse) and her younger sister Annabel aka Nan (Kristine Froseth). The fun-loving quintet have been instructed to secure wealthy husbands and titles by turning heads during a tightly corseted London season. Jinny and Nan's mother (Christina Hendricks) watches intently as men with power and girls with fortunes disregard centuries of tradition in pursuit of wedded bliss
