With every tweet, Instagram post and TikTok video, Dorian produces a version of who they wish they were rather than who they are\u2014all while navigating complex issues of sex, gender, mental health and consent.<\/p>\n<p>Yi Qiao, director Drama for ZDF Studios, said: \u201cAfter co-developing the delightful mystery series <em>The Puzzle Lady<\/em>, it\u2019s an absolute pleasure to be partnering with Factual Fiction again. Taking the theme of this classic book and giving it a modern twist is ingenious and\u2014especially in the age of social media\u2014more current than ever before. I cannot wait to bring this version of <em>Dorian Gray<\/em> to life.<\/p>\n<p>Tom Dalton, co-founder of Factual Fiction, added: \u201cIf ever there was a novel written for our time, it is <em>The Picture of Dorian Gray<\/em>. Morally agnostic, self-obsessed, terrified of rejection and yet deeply compelling. Exploring this world with brilliant young writer Maiya John, alongside the fantastic creative support of Yi Qiao and ZDF Studios, is an immense pleasure.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ZDF Studios has aligned with Factual Fiction on #DorianGray, a contemporary reimagining of Oscar Wilde\u2019s The Picture of Dorian Gray.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":18262,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[6077,6078,6079,4932],"class_list":["post-18261","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-factual-fiction","tag-oscar-wilde","tag-the-picture-of-dorian-gray","tag-zdf-studios","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>ZDF Studios &amp;
