If you loved the opulent, old-world drama of Bridgerton and The Buccaneers, we’ve got just the fix. The Gilded Age is our latest obsession, and it’s finally getting the recognition it deserves.

Now in its third season, the series has become a powerhouse for HBO, with its latest episode drawing over 4 million viewers — a new high for the streamer, and a 20% jump from last season. Created by Downton Abbey’s Julian Fellowes, The Gilded Age follows the social rivalries of New York’s elite in the 1880s, as old money clashes with new ambition, with impeccable costumes to rival the sharp plot lines.

If you're craving more shows that deliver period drama complete with immaculate interiors and lots of corsetry, these eight will fill the Gilded Age-shaped hole between episodes. Below, eight shows like The Gilded Age to watch next.

1. Bridgerton (Netflix)

The most obvious addition to your must-watch list. Bridgerton trades New York for Regency London, but the fixations on scandal, status and romance remain the same. There's also orchestral covers of some of our favourite pop songs (always perfectly timed with the plot), and a lot o yearning from some our favourite internet boyfriends (if you're a Jonathan Bailey fan, consider this required watching).

2. The Buccaneers (Apple TV+)

Based on Edith Wharton’s final (unfinished) novel, this is a slightly more scandalous alternative to The Gilded Age, and we've already raced through season two. It follows a group of American girls in 1870s London who proceed to shake up the British aristocracy with charm, new money, and a refusal to conform to society's rules.

3. Downton Abbey (Binge)

Also created by Julian Fellowes, Downton Abbey offers a more traditional take on class, inheritance, and family legacy — though there's enough hallway tension and suppressed emotion to keep us watching. Even better, there are six seasons, so you'll be occupied for a while.

4. The Crown (Netflix)

Spanning the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, The Crown follows the private struggles and political pressures faced by the royal family behind palace doors. From scandal and succession to media scrutiny and national crises, it’s a sharp portrait of actual events.

5. Belgravia (Apple TV)

Set in 1840s London, Belgravia unravels the tangled secrets and scandals of two intertwined families. As hidden pasts resurface, loyalties are tested and social standings threatened in this layered, emotional period drama.

6. Marie Antoinette (Stan)

This series explores the life of France’s most infamous queen through a contemporary lens, focusing on the excess and personal struggles behind the palace walls. While it's not rooted strictly in history, it is a captivating tale of the unraveling of tradition and power, told through Marie Antoinette’s eyes.

7. Versailles (Apple TV)

Set during the reign of Louis XIV, Versailles delves into the lavish construction of the palace and the ruthless politics of the French court. It’s a bold, theatrical take on one of history’s most extravagant eras.

8. The Great (Stan)

A sharp, satirical take on Catherine the Great’s rise to power, The Great blends humour with typical palace protocal. Elle Fanning stars as the ambitious empress, navigating the treacherous Russian court, while Nicholas Hoult plays her husband. It’s history reimagined with a modern edge.
