Seeking Persephone is based on a book
Like the hit costume drama Bridgerton, Seeking Persephone is also an adaptation of a bestselling romance book series.
In 2008, author Sarah M. Eden published her original romance novel, Seeking Persephone. It was nominated that same year for Best Romance in the Whitne y Awards. In 2011, the book went back into print with Shadow Mountain publishers and Eden wrote two more books in the series, Romancing Daphne and Courting Miss Lancaster.
In 2024, MainStay Productions crowdfunded the costs to adapt Seeking Persephone into a movie, which later became a limited series, and exceeded their goal. Sarah M. Eden adapted the screenplay from her novel and was involved in the production of the limited series, which she often updated her fans on via social media.
