Shows To Watch If You Loved Bridgerton
The Great
If you enjoyed a bit of a history lesson, lush clothes and a gripping storyline The Great should be your next watch after Bridgerton.

Keep an eye on this buzzy new show. Season 1 aired in 2020 to critical acclaim and season 2 is already in development.
The Great is currently airing on Channel 4 with episodes available on the All 4 Player.
The Crown
If English drama is your thing, you need to jump on The Crown train.
The Crown follows the 6 decade reign of the current Queen of England, Elizabeth II. As the show deals with a lot of IRL events it’s quite addictive.
All 4 seasons of The Crown are available on Netflix with season 5 currently in production.
Downton Abbey
Downton Abbey walked so Bridgerton could run!
Robert Crawley risks losing the family estate after his heirs die in the Titanic. Soon, the Crawleys are introduced to Matthew, the next heir in line, who resists the aristocratic way of life.
Downton Abbey is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

Do not watch this with your parents. We repeat, do not watch this with your parents.

Younger
Looking for a show starring some of your favourite faces from Bridgerton? You might have to wait until season 5 to catch a glimpse of Daphne, but Younger is well worth a watch on it’s own.

For The People
Need to see more of the Duke? We don’t blame you! You can catch Regé Jean Page in another Shondaland show For The People.
