Fans of period-piece dramas live in luxurious times, with more British and European television dramas available to American audiences than ever before.

Belgravia
Period drama Belgravia, which initially aired as a limited series in 2020, will officially return for a second season, albeit one that jumps ahead several decades into the future to tell an entirely new story. The renewal news was announced as part of the reveal that cable network Epix would

Period drama Belgravia wrapped up last week, with an hour that finally revealed Charles Pope's true identity, saw him marry Maria Gray and assumedly live happily ever after. But is that really the end of this story? Maybe. Maybe not. The series is itself an adaptation of a

At times, Belgravia was exactly what period drams ought to aspire to be - entertaining, with plenty of fancy dresses, soapy gossip, and entertaining upper-class problems. Unfortunately, the show's final hour veers far too frequently into essentially pointless melodrama, complete with continually scheming servants, actual murder attempts, blackmail

As Belgravia continues, everyone's secrets boil ever closer to the surface in an hour mainly serving as a holding pattern for future revelations. This story's two-steps-forward, five-steps-back nature is highly frustrating, as at least three different sets of characters inch ever closer to discovering the series&

Part of the reason the third episode of Belgravia feels a bit lackluster is simply the fact that the series’ two best characters are largely absent from it. It’s not that Caroline and Anne are particularly heroic or good people. But they’re at least complex enough to make

After a premiere installment that spent most of its time setting up the framework for the rest of the season through flashbacks, Belgravia’s second hour is much more the show we thought this series would be. It’s dramatic, soapy, and full of characters lying and behaving snottily to

Belgravia, the scandalously soapy new period drama from Julian Fellowes, is not Downton Abbey. This new series is very different in both style, tone, and time period. Its first episode is a slow build, of which over half is framed as a flashback, with a laundry list of characters whose

The full trailer for Julian Fellowes' long-awaited period drama follow-up to Downton Abbey is here, and if this nearly three minute clip is anything to go by, Belgravia is going to give us lots to talk about this spring. The six-part limited series is based on a book of

At long last, the trailer for Julian Fellows' next period drama is here. The Downton Abbey creator will return to the small screen in 2020 with Belgravia, a lavish story of secrets and scandals set in 19th century London, when the upper echelons of society began to rub shoulders
