If you are wondering if there are any other series that are similar to "Bridgerton", the answer is yes!
“Bridgerton” is deservedly one of the most-watched series on Netflix. The adaptation of Julie Quinn's novel almost overnight won over people around the world, who are looking forward to each new episode. Given that executive producer Shonda Rhimes is credited with other hit accomplishments like the “Scandal” and “Gray’s Anatomy” series, it’s no surprise that Bridgerton’s popularity is growing, we can safely say, from season to season.
However, if you miss the romances, love plots, and fashion of the Regency era, in anticipation of the third season, we bring you 7 great suggestions that you can watch.
1. Sanditon
The series is inspired by Jane Austen's novel. As in "Bridgerton", the plot of the series is set in the Regency era. When Charlotte Heywood (Rose Williams) moves to the picturesque village of Sanditon in search of a fresh start, she doesn’t expect to actually find a city full of secrets. There he also meets the charming Sidney Parker (Theo James), whose family is working to turn the city into a tourist destination.
2. The Great
It is another historical comedy/drama that focuses on the reign of Catherine the Great, one of the longest-serving Russian empresses. The main role was played by Elle Fanning, and this mixture of romance and drama tells the story from Catherine's humble origins to her accession to the throne, while she plans to kill her husband, Emperor Peter, and take power as the supreme ruler of the country.
3. Harlots
The story follows a London brothel, that is, an owner who independently tries to do everything to provide a better life for her daughters. The series focuses on women, during a time when they did not really occupy a central place, and although the story is set in two centuries ago, it brings a universal story of stigmatizing the position of sex workers, and working to strengthen and normalize the "oldest profession". Honest, strong, and encouraging.
4. Downton Abbey
Before the Bridgerton Madness, people were in love with the Downtown Abbey series. The series follows the Crawley family and their English estate during the early 20th century. The series spawned six seasons and a film that was successful worldwide and won several awards, including a Golden Globe and an Emmy for Best Mini Series. It is also the series with the most nominations in the history of Emmys.
5. Belgravia
"Belgravia" follows the scandal and drama of aristocratic life in England from the Regency era. The miniseries enters the secrets of London's high society when the Trenchard family is invited to the ball of the Duchess of Richmond on the eve of the Battle of Waterloo. Long-buried secrets are threatening to emerge there, putting their new status in danger.
6. Outlander
If you enjoyed the romantic and "hot" scenes from "Bridgerton", this is the right series for you. It is based on the eponymous series of novels by Diana Gabaldon and tells the story of Claire (Caitriona Balfe), a World War II nurse who was transported to Scotland in the 18th century. There she finds love with Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), a Scottish warrior who helps her stay safe.
7. The Crown
If you enjoy the drama of the royal family, "The Crown" is the perfect series for you. Based on a play by Peter Morgan, “The Crown” follows the life of Queen Elizabeth II. The series begins when Queen Elizabeth II takes the throne after the death of her father, King George VI. At the age of 25, she was cast as the ruler of the country. As the series progresses, Morgan leads the audience through decades of her life and shares all the juicy details of the drama that comes with it.
