If you can’t get enough of Bridgerton but sadly are waiting for the next season to drop (like me), then you might be able to satisfy that with a similar show.
Like Bridgerton, Outlander was a romantic book series turned into a serial drama. Unlike Bridgerton, though, you’re going to get a much spicier storyline, perfect for anyone who feels like they want a little more heat in their period romance TV shows.
The only bad thing about this one is that you’ll be back into the same cycle of waiting for the next season once you’re done. Set in the mid 1800s it follows the true story of how the Princess of Bavaria became the Empress of Austria.
Peaky Blinders takes place a century ahead of Bridgerton, but it’s definitely a great option for someone who liked the mysterious subplots Bridgerton had to offer. While it may not be a romance, you’ll be enthralled by the setting and the characters all the same.
If royalty is more your thing, Versailles is a must see period drama for Bridgerton fans. All those beats of love, hierarchy, power, betrayal, and manipulation that you love in Bridgerton are all here in Versailles – and I know you’re going to love it.
I have seen The Great come up on so many “what other period dramas do you watch besides Bridgerton” lists that I have to share it. I don’t even know how to describe this show; mostly because it’s a satire. Part comedy, part drama, it follows how “Catherine the Nothing” becomes “The Great”.
