The spring TV season is officially in full swing. Even though in America (and overseas), the first week of April will see a short hiatus for the first week as Easter specials hit the airwaves, streaming services will not halt the arrivals of new programming. Over on PBS, the usual
Britannia
There is sad news on the British period pieces about Roman times front, as Sky announces Britannia has been canceled after three seasons. The news isn't that big of a surprise, as the show has struggled to find backers since its first season; the joint production between Sky
Disney/Hulu
Following in the footsteps of beloved movies like Before Sunrise and Love Actually, Rye Lane brings a fresh perspective to the genre while hitting every hallmark of a classic rom-com. The film stars Vivian Oparah (Class) as bold and bubbly Yas and David Jonsson (Industry) as sweet mama’s boy
Starz
Though period drama fan favorites Sam Heughan and Eleanor Tomlinson are probably best known for their performances on a pair of popular historical romantic dramas -- Outlander and Poldark, respectively -- the pair are finally joining forces to tell a decidedly modern sort of story. (And which will almost certainly
Netflix
Though actor Richard Armitage is an almost universally beloved figure among Anglophiles (North and South is an absolutely perfect period drama and we should say so!), in the past few years he hasn't been on our screens all that much. Sure he's done a ton of

Call the Midwife

Good Omens
Most viewers likely aren't sure what to expect from the second season of Prime Video's Good Omens. Yes, the series's first season was wall-to-wall wonderful, an adaptation of the beloved Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett novel of the same name that felt like it
The Nevers
Life comes at you fast. Three years ago, in 2020, Joss Whedon's The Nevers was positioned as the Next Big British-ish Fantasy Series for HBO following Game of Thrones, including taking over the latter's coveted pre-Emmy vote schedule-block of Sundays at 9 p.m. in April
Marie Antoinette
The trailers for Marie Antoinette show the kiss that the young Dauphine and King's favorite Madame du Barry share in the series' second episode; only those clips seemed (whether intentionally or not) to frame the moment as vaguely indecent, another example of the infamous French queen and
