Alice in Arabia

In March 2014, Eikmeier was embroiled in a controversy with her ABC Family pilot Alice in Arabia, which depicted the story of an American girl being swept from her status quo and placed with her extended family in Arabia. Days after ordering the drama to pilot, ABC Family rescinded it, claiming public backlash, due to the nature of the series' synopsis. Eikmeier wrote a comprehensive open letter to The Hollywood Reporter, stating that the public's perception had been misled by the network released statement. The series was shopped to other networks, with no apparent bidders.^[1]
