A number of scholars, notably Martha Nell Smith, have argued that Emily Dickinson had a romantic relationship with her close friend Susan Huntington Gilbert, who ended up marrying Dickinson's brother, Austin, though that lesbian relationship has never been confirmed. Showrunner Alena Smith took that theory and decided to flesh it out in this series. She also told The Hollywood Reporter that she expects pushback from both the gay and straight communities, saying, "It's funny because I think there are going to be people who think the representation of Emily and Sue in this show is not queer enough just as much as the opposite."
