Emma Harte’s story continues in a brand-new second season
Season 2: 8 x 60' - coming soon
Season 1: 8 x 60'
Emma Harte returns, emerging from World War I ready to conquer the glittering, fast-changing world of the 1920s. No longer a housemaid but a formidable business mogul, Emma’s ambition for the Harte name burns brighter than ever – as does her determination to make the Fairley family pay.
Yet building an empire comes at a cost. Emma must contend with devastating loss, unexpected betrayals from those closest to her, and an infuriatingly charismatic Paul McGill, whose passion threatens to derail even her most laid plans.
Meanwhile, in the 1970s, an older Emma faces a battle every bit as fierce: wresting back her life’s work from Jim Fairley and protecting the legacy she sacrificed everything to create.
Emma has shattered expectations, smashed glass ceilings, and reached the top. Now she must prove she can stay there – whatever it takes. Because fortunes can change, enemies endure, and power is never surrendered without a fight.
