Ever watched Bridgerton and thought, “I was born to dramatically stare out a carriage window in 1815”? Same.
If you’re obsessed with slow-burn romance, period drama fashion, and emotionally charged ballroom scenes, this list is your new best friend....
Think Bridgerton but set in 1880s New York. Rich families, societal games, and old money vs. new drama.
The Gilded Age (TV series)
I loved this!
American girls shaking up British high society. Feels like a rebellious Bridgerton sister story.
The Buccaneers (2023 TV series)
1
Okay, it’s dramatic and sometimes wild — but also romantic, royal, and addictive as heck. The plot is awesome,it's feels like a rollercoaster .
Reign (TV series)
2
Cozy, heartfelt, with a soft feminist glow. Jo March is the original girlboss writer.
When Laurie said, "I figured you'd love me Jo,"🥲yeah,can't forget that scene.
Little Women (2019) - IMDb
If you love Bridgerton, you need to know her story. Her origin story is emotional and powerful.
Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story
It’s softer and more youthful, but has that poetic, coming-of-age warmth. Plus, Gilbert.😊
Anne with an E
It’s a classic for a reason ... servants, aristocrats, love affairs, and so much tea (literally and metaphorically).
Downton Abbey
It’s Jane Austen with seaside scandal and one very attractive gentleman. IYKYK.
Sanditon (TV series)
Witty, colorful, and full of slow-burn tension. Plus, those costumes? Gorgeous.
Emma (2020 film)
Same creators as Downton Abbey, with secrets buried in high society. Intriguing and posh.
Belgravia (TV series)
A free-spirited royal in a world of rules. Visually stunning and emotionally rich.
The Empress (TV series)
A regency romance with diverse casting, clever plots, and all the Bridgerton vibes.
Mr. Malcolm's List (2022) - IMDb
It's funny and totally unhinged. Historical chaos in the best way.
The Great (TV series)
Young Queen Victoria balancing duty, romance, and ruling an empire.
Victoria (TV Series 2016–2019) - IMDb
Rainy proposals, piano playing, and THE hand flex. It’s everything.
