It is that time again. I love a good period drama but haven't really had any to watch lately. When that happens, I turn to some of my favorite online sites to get the scoop on all the upcoming period dramas, and so far this is what I've found.
Knowing that some of you are also period drama fans, I wanted to share the list so that you too can maybe find a new favorite, or anxiously anticipate them like I am.
I will remind you all that I do have a huge running list of period drama series, movies, documentaries and books, already available here on the blog. So if you're looking for a fun watch, give those a peek first, I'm sure you will find something there that will interest you.
With that said, let's take a quick look at some of the upcoming series and movies that I am really looking forward to.

King and Conqueror
William of Normandy and Harold of Wessex were two individuals destined to meet at the Battle of Hastings in 1066; they were allies but had no claim to the British monarchy until fate drove them into a conflict over the country's crown.
Will be released this year probably around summer time. Soon, I would expect, and will be shown on BBC and CBS.
The Narrow Road to the Deep North
Burma Railway in 1943 and across the Pacific during World War II, charts the cruelty of war, the tenuousness of life and the impossibility of love, as seen through the eyes of an Australian doctor and prisoner of war.
It is available to watch on Amazon Prime.
Outlander: Blood of my Blood
The prequel series that connects to the main "Outlander" series by exploring the love stories of Jamie Fraser and Claire Beauchamp's parents. It's essentially a story of the generation preceding Jamie and Claire, providing a glimpse into their familial history.
Will be out August 8 and I am sooooo, sooooo looking forward to this one.
Chief of War
Set amidst the beautiful backdrop of the islands of Hawai‘i, the nine-episode series, based on true events, follows warrior Ka‘iana, portrayed by Momoa, as he tries to unify the islands before Western colonization in the late 18th century.
Will be releasing August 1st, on Apple Tv.
2025 seems to be a bit of a quiet year for period dramas, but I think there are still a few to look forward to. What are you currently watching? Do you have any upcoming favorites?
