Can you watch Belgravia: The Next Chapter in the UK?
The Belgravia sequel comes from Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes.
New series, Belgravia: The Next Chapter, is the anticipated follow-up to the original limited series created by Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey). More recently, fans of Fellowes have been enjoying The Gilded Age, but you're set to get another dose of period drama with this upcoming new Belgravia sequel.
The new series takes place decades after the original series in 1871 and will feature new characters and new dramas. It will tell the love story of Frederick Trenchard, played by Ben Wainwright.
On the announcement of the new series, Fellowes said: "I’m so proud of everything this dedicated team accomplished with the original Belgravia series. I cannot wait for the world to return to Belgravia for this new iteration, expertly crafted by Helen Edmundson.
"Old and new fans alike will be swept off their feet with an emotionally engaging story, memorable characters, and brilliant production and costume design."
As the series has been developed by Carnival Films for MGM+, fans are naturally going to be wondering whether the series will be airing in the UK. Read on to find out.
Can you watch Belgravia: The Next Chapter in the UK?
For now, the answer is sadly no. There has not been any confirmation as to if, how and when UK viewers will be able to watch Belgravia: The Next Chapter.
Of course, the news will be disappointing for fans on this side of the pond but we'll be sure to update this page as and when streaming plans are confirmed.
The series premieres on Sunday 14th January at 9pm ET/PT on MGM+, with episodes airing every Sunday on the streamer. There will be eight episodes in total in the series.
The original Belgravia series was available to watch on ITV1 in the UK when it originally aired in 2020, so it's very likely that the broadcaster could be the place to find the sequel but as mentioned, we'll have to wait and see.
What is Belgravia: The Next Chapter about?
Set 30 years after the original series, the new series has an entirely new cast and will once again explore London's high society.
The synopsis, as per Deadline, reads: "The series tells the love story of Frederick Trenchard, who has grown up as the third Lord Trenchard, and his new love interest, Clara Dunn, who is a newcomer to London society.
"Unaware that his birth was the product of an affair between his mother Susan and the scoundrel John Bellasis, a troubled childhood has left Frederick deeply insecure, which challenges his courtship of and marriage to Clara."
