EMEDIA: THE TITLE IS NOT A UNIQUE NAME' According to Sunday World, eMedia revealed that any alleged similarity to Smoke and Mirrors or many other dramas is purely coincidental.

The channel said in statement: The idea was for a completely different show about a royal family and their celebrity couple friends grappling with their own sexual identities in the midst of change and a shifting power scale.

The show and concept, like many other pitches, was not accepted. The title Smoke and Mirrors is not a unique name and is a general phrase used in everyday language and by many other producers for album and song titles, and also across many industries.
