Belgravia: The Next Chapter
With EPIX’s rebrand to MGM+, the US channel also ordered a sequel series of Belgravia, subtitled: “The Next Chapter.” It remains to be seen if ITV is involved as they were with the original series, but at the very least they will like broadcast S2 in the UK, if not fully co-produce.
Per TV Line:
Belgravia: The Next Chapter | The series will pick up in 1865, 25 years after the events depicted in the 2020 limited series, which was written by Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey) and based on his novel of the same name. Developed and written by Helen Edmundson (Dalgliesh, Mary Magdalene), it will tell the love story of Frederick Trenchard, who has grown up as the third Lord Glanville, and his new love interest, Clara Dunn, who is a newcomer to London society. Unaware that his birth was the product of an affair between his mother Susan and the scoundrel John Bellasis, a troubled childhood has left Frederick deeply insecure, which challenges his courtship of and marriage to Clara.
Anglotopia has the full press release:
Premium network EPIX announced today that the network has greenlit Belgravia: The Next Chapter, a continuation of the hit historical drama named for—and set in—the affluent London district that became synonymous with the upper echelons of London society in the 19th century. Filming on the eight-part series will commence early next year in the UK, and it will premiere in the winter of 2023.
The series will pick up in 1865, 25 years after the events depicted in the 2020 limited series, which was written by Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey) and based on his novel of the same name. Developed and written by Helen Edmundson (Dalgliesh, Mary Magdalene), it will tell the love story of Frederick Trenchard, who has grown up as the third Lord Glanville, and his new love interest, Clara Dunn, who is a newcomer to London society. Unaware that his birth was the product of an affair between his mother Susan and the scoundrel John Bellasis, a troubled childhood has left Frederick deeply insecure, which challenges his courtship of and marriage to Clara.
The series reunites Julian Fellowes with Carnival’s award-winning creative team—led by Gareth Neame— both Fellowes and Neames will serve as executive producers with Carnival’s Nigel Marchant and Joanna Strevens. Helen Edmundson serves as showrunner and executive producer. John Alexander (Small Island), who directed the original series, is lead director and executive producer. Colin Wratten (Killing Eve) who produced the original series will return as producer.
“With its cinematic scope, emotionally engaging story, and brilliant production design that brings the time period to life, Belgravia: The Next Chapter is an immersive story that will keep viewers riveted,” said Michael Wright, president of EPIX. “We can’t wait to see what Julian, Helen Edmundson and Carnival have in store for our audience.”

Or; I own too many books and I have too little time to get to them all.
I want to say that I’ll entirely pull my reads this year off my own shelves, but it’s rather unlikely to actually happen. Mood reader and all that.
Shamelessly stealing @lettersfromthelighthouse ‘s formatting - bold is started, strikethrough is finished. Imagine that the titles are italicised; tumblr refuses to copy formatting done in another file. I hope I shall keep updating this post, but I am notoriously forgetful, so there’s that.
