Netflix is indeed cooking up a period romance with The Granville Girls. Set amid the breathtaking peaks of the Canadian Rockies, the series promises to turn Cat Cahill’s Gilbert Girls books into a cinematic sigh.

Showrunner Adriana Maggs and executive producer Christina Jennings are leading the charge, blending female camaraderie with swoon-worthy romance. Filming kicks off in June 2026, making this one of the streaming giant’s most anticipated heartstring-pullers yet.

The story follows Emma Daniels, a bright-eyed Granville girl mapping a hotel world where men are off-limits, and adventure is mandatory. While her heart flutters and stumbles into the orbit of the hotel’s mysterious builder, she learns the rules of friendship, courage, and desire.

Secrets linger in corridors and hearts, forcing choices that could change everything. Themes of self-discovery and forbidden romance are stitched seamlessly into this modern spin on classic period drama storytelling.

The Granville Girls set promises drama as scenic as the story

Though the cast remains a mystery, Netflix insiders and Production Weekly confirm filming in Canada, likely British Columbia or Alberta. The Rockies will not just be a backdrop; they will command attention, making every secret rendezvous and romantic glance feel cinematic.

With eight episodes confirmed, viewers can expect a story arc as concise as it is captivating, where emotional depth meets visual grandeur, and landscapes flirt with the audience almost as much as the characters do.
