6-period dramas like 'Belgravia: The Next Chapter'
Bridgerton
One can't mention period drama and not think about 'Bridgerton' as Lady Whistledown is set to make yet another appearance in May this year with a third season. If you love romance mixed with wit, humor, and some suspense, 'Bridgerton' is the way to go, with the first two seasons now streaming on Netflix.
This Netflix series is created by Chris Van Dusen and stars some brilliant cast members including Phoebe Dynevor, Jonathan Bailey, Simone Ashley, and Nicola Coughlan amongst several others.
Downton Abbey
Created and co-written by Julian Fellowes, the same mind behind 'Belgravia,' the original series that connects to 'Belgravia: The Next Chapter,' makes 'Downton Abbey' a no-brainer addition to this list of period dramas that you need to watch if you haven't already.
In addition, this series also boasts a star-studded cast that includes Michelle Dockery, Hugh Bonneville, Laura Carmichael, and Maggie Smith amongst several others.
The Crown
If you have a keen interest in the British monarchy, then 'The Crown' needs to be on the top of your list of period dramas, if you haven't binged it already.
This series has 6 seasons, and while it is more historical and biographical in ways, as compared to 'Belgravia: The Next Chapter,' it deserves a binge.
'The Crown' was created by none other than Peter Morgan and all 6 seasons are now streaming on Netflix.
The Great
Unlike 'Belgravia: The Next Chapter' and some of the aforementioned period dramas, 'The Great' sets itself apart by falling under a more specific genre that involves comedy.
However, let that not deter you from tuning into this series which has everything from lavish costumes to beautiful palaces.
'The Great' stars some well-known talent including Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult.
Sanditon
Starring Theo James and Rose Williams, 'Sanditon' is the underdog when it comes to period dramas and popularity, however, has garnered quite the fan-following over the years since it first started back in 2019.
The series revolves around the female protagonist who finds herself in a fishing village. 'Sanditon' only has 3 seasons, making it the perfect binge from now to the next episode of 'Belgravia: The Next Chapter.'
The Gilded Age
A period drama that found its footing amongst the big guns like 'Bridgerton,' 'The Gilded Age' has become a fan-favorite with a stellar cast that one simply can't look away from.
'The Gilded Age' includes talented actors and actresses including but not limited to Carrie Coon, Louisa Jacobson, Christine Baranski, Cynthia Nixon, and Morgan Spector.
