Guillermo del Toro wanted to work with Sally Hawkins after he saw her in this. He went on to write The Shape of Water (2017) with her in mind.

Sally Hawkins, who plays Sue Trinder, also appeared as a maid in the earlier adaptation of another Sarah Waters' books Tipping the Velvet (2002).

The title, Fingersmith, is an archaic term used to refer to a petty thief or pick pocketer, in reference to the story's themes of money and theft. It is also a double entendre, and refers to the sexual act of fingering, in reference to the lesbian themes in the story.
