Period Drama 'Beecham House' Will Air on Masterpiece This Summer

It's official: Period drama Beecham House is will officially air on Masterpiece this summer.

The series has been available to stream for PBS Passport members since March, but has yet to broadcast here in America. But that's about to change at last, and the series will officially premiere on Sunday, June 14. (Though as with every June premiere, make sure you double check your local listings, as this is often pledge time for local stations, and the date could shift a bit.)

Created by Bend It Like Beckham director Gurinder Chadha, Beecham House follows the story of the wealthy and mysterious John Beecham, a former soldier who purchases an opulent house at the turn of the 18th century in Delhi, India to reunite his family and start a new life. During his time with the East India Company, John saw much explotiation and suffering and has now resolved to conduct his business in a more fair and equitable manner.

The ensemble cast includes a lot of British faces that will be familiar to Masterpiece and PBS fans. It stars Vanity Fair’s Tom Bateman, alongside Downton Abbey’s Lesley Nicol, Mr. Selfridge’s Gregory Fitoussi, Sanditon’s Leo Suter, Endeavour’s Dakota Blue Richards and more.
