Instead of anxiously waiting for June 13 to watch the second part of season 3 “Bridgerton,” you can dive into the world of other period shows on Netflix right away.
Here are 5 series that may satisfy your craving for romance, drama, and period costumes:
The Empress
Based on the real-life story of the 19th-century Bavarian princess-turned-Austrian empress, Elisabeth, or Sisi, the show is everything a period drama lover expects. From breathtaking gowns to longing glances and in-laws doing behind-the-scenes politics, this will keep you hooked until Bridgerton returns.

Outlander
The show takes you back to the 1740s Scottish Highlands and narrates the story of World War II nurse Claire, who time travels and meets her knight in shining armor. Their love story is tangled in different continents and timelines, but the fire in their relationship will remind you of Simon and Daphne.

Call The Midwife
Adapted from the best-selling memoirs of Jennifer Worth, this show is set in 1950s East End London. It revolves around the lives of midwives and nuns at Nonnatus House and their sisterhood. As the cherry on top, it has seven seasons, so you are sorted until #Polin graces us back with their presence.
