Viewers obsessed with '10/10' period drama hailed as being 'better than Bridgerton'

If you're anything like us and rattled through the first part of the third season of Bridgerton in no time at all then, not to worry, as there's another cracking period drama series you can sink your teeth into while you wait for the second part of the 'ton which drops next month (13 June).

Some have been losing their minds over a raunchy new Tudor drama, My Lady Jane, 'perfect for Bridgerton fans' but other viewers are now totally obsessed with a '10/10' period drama hailed as being even 'better than Bridgerton'.

The British Regency and Victorian-era historical drama, set in the 19th century, is based on the 2016 novel of the same name by Julian Fellowes.

The six-part limited series, reunites the production team behind Downton Abbey, follows the London-hailing Trenchard family and the circumstances that bring them together with members of the upper strata of society, which threatens to expose their ancient secrets.

It stars Philip Glenister as James Trenchard, Tamsin Greig as Anne Trenchard,

Richard Goulding as Oliver Trenchard (son of James and Anne), Emily Reid as Sophia Trenchard (daughter of James and Anne) and Alice Eve as Susan Trenchard, wife of Oliver.

In case you hadn't already guessed it, the series, which first hit our screens back in 2020, is none other than Belgravia.
