We’re suckers for period dramas, and we’re especially fond of adaptations of classic novels. My Brilliant Career, an adaptation of Australian Miles Franklin’s classic novel, is the best of both worlds, complete with the kind of heroine we cannot help but root for. Is it a romance or a story about a woman who dreams about more than just that? Well, you’re going to have to tune in to find out.
Here’s everything we know about the upcoming show:

Synopsis
Here is the synopsis for the show:
Philippa Northeast stars as Sybylla, a fiercely modern young woman with one burning ambition: to be a writer, even as her family pushes her toward marriage. In this new series adaptation of the classic Australian novel, Sybylla breaks every convention of 1900 Australia as she chases a story that could write her way to independence, until she falls in love. Will she marry, or risk it all for a creative life?
