“Dickinson” showrunner Alena Smith detailed the challenges of making the Apple TV+ period drama show starring Hailee Steinfeld as its queer female lead, playing poet Emily Dickinson. Apple kept her in the dark about the show’s success, Smith said, which made creating the show significantly more difficult.
The first season of the series arrived on the streamer in 2019, the second one on Jan. 8, 2021. Season 3 concluded the arc Smith envisioned for the project and came out Nov. 5, 2021.
Describing what drove streaming services to make creative projects, Smith explained to Harper’s Magazine that streamers were looking to grow their subscriber numbers by taking big creative swings that pulled in new audiences.
“It’s like a whole world of intellectuals and artists got a multibillion-dollar grant from the tech world,” Smith said. “But we mistook that, and were frankly actively gaslit into thinking that that was because they cared about art.

Last month, it was announced that writer/producer Judalina Neira is developing a TV series reimagining of the classic sitcom Bewitched for Sony Pictures Television, aiming to turn it into an “irreverent hourlong” show. NBC clearly likes the idea of reviving Bewitched, because now Deadline has broken the news that the network has their own “Bewitched-inspired” show called Something Wicked in the works, and this one already has a star attached: June Diane Raphael, who may be best known for playing the character Brianna Hanson for the 94 episodes that make up the Netflix series Grace and Frankie, which ran for seven seasons.
Raphael is also writing and executive producing Something Wicked with Dickinson creator Alena Smith. A multi-camera comedy, the show is described as having a Bewitched-type premise and will also serve as an homage to TV sitcom classics.

NBC is hoping to tap into the magic of classic sitcoms for its new comedy series Something Wicked, which is said to have a “Bewitched-type premise.” As reported by Deadline, June Diane Raphael (Grace and Frankie) will star in the multi-camera comedy, which is currently in development at NBC. Raphael will also serve as writer and executive producer on the project alongside Dickinson creator Alena Smith. The show is described as “an homage to TV sitcom classics” and will examine the condition of modern adult womanhood and how, even with witchcraft, balancing everything is impossible. Bewitched originally aired on ABC from 1964 to 1972 and starred Elizabeth Montgomery as Samantha Stevens, a witch who marries an ordinary mortal man and vows to lead the life of a typical suburban housewife. The show was an instant hit with viewers, and in 2002, TVGuide ranked it as No. 50 on the 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time.

The parent company also quietly removed a number of HBO Max original films from the streaming service, and TheWrap reported Wednesday that Chief Executive Officer David Zaslav is expected to announce a major restructuring of HBO Max and Discovery+ that will result in a gutting of HBO Max, significant layoffs for its executives and staff to minimize redundancies with HBO and a combined streaming service with Discovery+ with a harder line separation between the scripted and unscripted content operations.

When the first promos for Alena Smith's Apple TV+ series "Dickinson" dropped back in 2019, not everyone was sold on the idea. That makes sense, because it's hard to imagine how a series could paint an authentic portrait of celebrated poet Emily Dickinson (Hailee Steinfeld) while still managing to juggle elements of satire, romance, anachronistic comedy, and coming-of-age drama. Now, with the final episodes out in the world, it's clear "Dickinson'' was perfectly capable of all that and then some.

Apple TV+’s comedy series Dickinson wrapped up its third and final season Thursday night, with Emily Dickinson (Hailee Steinfeld) and her loved ones looking to the future.
As the episode titled “This Was a Poet -” opens, Emily is visited in her family’s garden by Death (Wiz Khalifa), who is donning a new suit and suggests that she herself is in need of “a new look” — a “uniform” befitting her work as a poet. From his perspective, she’s at a point where she should look to “go farther and deeper” in her writing than ever before, and she can do so only by separating herself from other peoples’ expectations, the strictures of which are embodied in the corset she’s long been forced to wear.

When Apple TV+ first revealed that Dickinson Season 3 would be the comedy's conclusion, there were some concerns it was too early to bring the show to a close.
After screening the entire season, it's clear the series is ending at the right time. Dickinson Season 3 is much darker than its predecessors, and for all intents and purposes, the show's beauty has been how it has grown with Emily.
As the backdrop to the ten-part final season, the Civil War provides characters time to assess who they are and what they want to become in one of history's most challenging times.
Emily is entirely different than the girl of the first two seasons, and Hailee Steinfeld gets some of the best material of her career as Emily tries to find herself, once and for all.

When Alena Smith sat down to tell the untold tale of famed poet Emily Dickinson, she imagined a three-year television series. She sold the show straight to series to Apple TV Plus in May 2018, more than a year before that streamer would even launch. To say that Smith’s goal of three seasons at an unproven entity had to come with risk and hope may be an understatement. But she was able to carry her original plan to fruition, and now “Dickinson” is the first Apple TV Plus series to conclude its run having carried out its creator’s vision.
“In Season 3 we’ve lived through a lot with these characters, we’ve all grown and changed and their relationships have certainly deepened over time, and to just honor all of that history was really rewarding,” Smith tells Variety.
“To me, this whole series is really one work of art.

The end is approaching for the Apple TV+ comedy Dickinson.
The third and final season is set to premiere on Apple TV+ Friday, November 5, with a three-episode premiere.
TV Fanatic got the chance to chat with Hailee Steinfeld (Emily), Ella Hunt (Sue), Adrian Blake Enscoe (Austin), Anna Baryshnikov (Lavinia), Amanda Warren (Betty), Chinaza Uche (Henry), and series creator Alena Smith.
Dickinson Season 3 picks up in the middle of the civil war.
"Not only is there a huge division in the nation, but there also happens to be one within the family in the homestead, so there is a lot of mourning taking place, a lot of grief," Steinfeld shares, adding that Emily is struggling to find out how she can help.
Emily and Sue left things on a somewhat happy note at the end of Dickinson Season 2, but Steinfeld teases the two women are in very different places than when we left them.

Warning: Spoilers ahead! Dickinson is finding the good in goodbye with its final season. Yes, the country is in the midst of a Civil War, a tragic moment in history that showrunner Alena Smith has been building up to for the past two seasons, but this season is (opposed to the war) not all bad for the Dickinson family. In fact, Emily Dickinson (Hailee Steinfeld) is growing more sure of the person she wants to be, and Billy Eichner's character, Walt Whitman, is to thank for this pivotal change in the protagonist. As Hailee told E! News in a recent interview, Walt comes into Emily's life and helps her have her "coming out...

As the country becomes increasingly, bitterly divided and people desperately want things to return to “normal,” the question of how much art can contribute to society crops up repeatedly. Once again, series creator Alena Smith reflects our present back to us with her radical retelling of Emily Dickinson’s life in “Dickinson,” where the third and final season finds the Civil War in full swing and everyone reconsidering their lives.
In the wake of her crash and burn at chasing fame, Emily (Hailee Steinfeld) pursues a new purpose for writing, putting pen to paper for the grander purpose of instilling hope in both her family and the troops. Steinfeld’s best work throughout the series has been in steering Emily through her own misguided reasons for creating, whether it’s a poem, more time with her lover Sue (Ella Hunt), or harmony within her family. But the cold realization for...

While Emily Dickinson’s poetry will live forever, Apple TV+ is preparing to bid the writer adieu as Dickinson gears up for its third and final season. Debuting in 2019, the half-hour comedy from creator and showrunner Alena Smith has enchanted viewers with its modern approach to the poet’s coming-of-age story. Bringing Emily to life is actress and series executive producer Hailee Steinfeld, who TV Insider caught up with on the show’s set along with her costars Anna Baryshnikov and Ella Hunt, best known as Emily’s sister Lavinia and best friend/lover Sue.

For the first season of the Apple TV+ series “Dickinson,” creator Alena Smith and her team were given a Peabody Award in part for the delightful way the comedy uses the life of Emily Dickinson (played by Hailee Steinfeld) to discuss modern issues like identity and equality. But despite the successful debut, Smith and the “Dickinson” team did not rest on their laurels.
“Season 2 was so absolutely different tonally and each character grew quite a bit from Season 1,” star Jane Krakowski, who plays Mrs. Dickinson on the show, told Gold Derby in an interview this year. “Initially, that was a bit like, ‘Can you explain why they made these changes?’ [Alena] had answers for every bit of it and guided our characters where they were going to start Season 2. I think Season 2 is better than Season 1 because of it.”

With her Emmy-nominated turns on modern classics like “30 Rock” and “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” Jane Krakowski is used to getting big laughs on television comedies. But Season 2 of the Apple TV+ series “Dickinson” afforded her with the opportunity to do something more than just land a perfect punchline: flesh out a character’s deep inner fears and insecurity.
“What I think is lovely is the leaps the characters have made in between each season. I think sometimes when you sign on for a character, the character tends to stay the same. The core beliefs stay the same — and they have in this too — but almost by the third season of the show you can predict what your character would say or what their reactions would be or what their storyline would be for that year,” Krakowski tells Gold Derby. “What has been completely surprising is that [showrunner] Alena Smith comes in and says,...
