Shows that feel likeBridgerton (2020–)

Wealth, lust, and betrayal set in the backdrop of Regency era England, seen through the eyes of the powerful Bridgerton family.

If you loved Bridgerton, the closest series we have are Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story (2023), Off Campus (2026) and Extraordinary Attorney Woo (2022). All three share Bridgerton's contemplative and romantic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Looking for Alaska (2019).
