'Belgravia,' a period drama created by Julian Fellowes, known for his work on 'Downton Abbey,' is set against the backdrop of the Duchess of Richmond's ball in June 1815, just before the Battle of Waterloo. The series, which premiered on ITV in the UK on March 15, 2020, and on April 12, 2020, in the United States via Epix, focuses on the lives of the Trenchard and Bellasis families, delving into themes of romance, class politics, and societal intrigue. Fellowes describes 'Belgravia' as darker than 'Downton Abbey,' emphasizing the realities faced by working-class characters. The show has received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising its visual appeal and others criticizing it as formulaic. However, audience reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the show's gripping storyline and authentic period details. A follow-up series, 'Belgravia: The Next Chapter,' was announced in September 2022 and launched in January 2024 on ITV, further expanding the narrative established in the original series.
