Henry: I'm not lonely. I have my good friend Philip Roth.
Eliza: Mm-hmm.
Henry: Maybe a little lonely.
Eliza: And maybe I can help you with that.
Behind the scenes:
In a scene that ran just before the cancellation announcement—during the [Brian] Rubenstein-penned sixth episode, “Never Block Cookies”—Eliza goes over to Henry’s house and confronts him. They wind up having an intimate moment where he grabs her around the waist, leading to an almost-kiss that’s one of the most smoldering moments in sitcom history. Rubenstein remembers that moment in particular: “Emily [Kapnek] came down and was sort of orchestrating how that whole thing would go. Just the chemistry between those two was really cool to watch; it felt that way on set.”

Eliza: For example, when I exit a room, it is impossible not to look.
Henry: First of all, that’s not what I meant by being eyed.
Eliza: Try not to look.
Henry: Eliza.
Eliza: Just try.
Happy 8th anniversary to Selfie (2014)! This show was ahead of its time and was gone too soon.
It’s a romantic comedy series starring Karen Gillan and John Cho. A modern adaptation of My Fair Lady created by Emily Kapnek (As Told by Ginger, Suburgatory). The same executive producer for Bridgerton also worked on Selfie. She’s the reason why John Cho was cast as Henry making him the first Asian male romantic lead in a U.S. romcom series. Everyone had great chemistry and not to mention Karen Gillan did an amazing cover of Chandelier. The cast and creator would be up for a revival if there’s an opportunity as well.
Release date: September 30, 2014 - December 30, 2014
Fan: Sister, is there any chance to bring back Selfie?

Actress/producer Liu Yuxin: The original copyright is not available and Warner won’t release it. Now we are trying our best to communicate with the original cast and crew to create another story.

It seems that Warner Brothers does not want to sell the rights, but I hope Liu Yuxin's team (Stars Collective) is successful with a new project!
