The world of period drama is steadily getting bigger. Not only are we (finally!) getting more stories focused on British periods outside of the Regency (Mary & George, Monstrous Beauty), lavish foreign dramas are rapidly picking up the slack when it comes to historical dramas set outside the United Kingdom.
From German series like The Empress to Danish shows like Seaside Hotel and Korean dramas like Kingdom, it’s easier than ever to add a little international flair to your viewing queue. And if these first images are anything to go by, Netflix’s new Italian series The Leopard will belong on your must-watch list.
