If you’re in the mood to cozy up with a good TV show this fall, period dramas are just the thing you’re looking for. They’re going stronger than ever right now, and here are three worth putting on your watch list if you’re a fan of this genre.

The Buccaneers

Based on Edith Wharton’s unfinished novel of the same name, The Buccaneers centers on a group of young American women trying to fit in into London’s high society, where they were sent to look for love and marriages during the 1870s.

The Gilded Age

The Gilded Age is one of the shows responsible for putting period dramas on the map in recent years, and it returned for its second season this fall. It’s set in New York City’s rigid social scene, where the clash between the “old money” and “new money” is the cause of constant drama among the members of the Upper East Side’s society.

Lessons in Chemistry

Lessons in Chemistry is not set in such a distant future, and it will take us to 1960s America. It’s based on Bonnie Garmus’ hit novel of the same name about an aspiring chemist who becomes an overnight sensation after becoming a host of a cooking show with a feminist twist.

Period dramas usually follow a similar formula, but it seems like change is on the way thanks to many amazing new series that we’ve got in 2020 and many more coming our way. If you want to discover new TV shows that put a twist on this popular genre, make sure to check out these three.

Bridgerton

Shonda Rhimes’ first Netflix series takes place during Regency England and follows the trials and tribulations of the wealthy Bridgerton family. What makes it different from the majority of other period dramas is its diverse cast, liberated approach to romance, and use of modern music.

The Great

The Great has several of the same qualities as Bridgerton, but its humorous tone is everyone’s favorite thing about it. It may not be the most historically accurate take on Catherine the Great’s rise to power, but it’s certainly the funniest one.

Lovecraft Country

Lovecraft Country isn’t a period drama per se, but it’s set during 1950s America, which makes it one. It proves that period dramas can work when mixed with horror and supernatural elements, and we’re looking forward to seeing more of that mix in the future.
