The Full Trailer for Julian Fellowes' 'Belgravia' Promises Secrets and Family Intrique
The full trailer for Julian Fellowes' long-awaited period drama follow-up to Downton Abbey is here, and if this nearly three minute clip is anything to go by, Belgravia is going to give us lots to talk about this spring.
The six-part limited series is based on a book of the same name, which Fellowes himself wrote, and is brought to us by the same production team that gave us Downton, and the two do feel relatively similar to one another, even if this series is probably more like its snooty older cousin. Technically, the two series are not connected to one another, but they are both are written by Fellowes and the production teams both include Gareth Neame, Nigel Marchant, and Liz Trubridge.
The story of Belgravia begins in 1815, on the eve of the Battle of Waterloo, at a fancy party thrown by the Duchess of Richmond in honor of the Duke of Wellington. During this high society event, the daughter of a prominent new money merchant family catches the eye of the heir of one of the richest and most prominent families in England. And their subsequent meeting will set in motion a chain of events and consequences that will be felt through multiple families for decades to come. Sounds scandalous, yeah?
