5 reasons not to miss 'Belgravia', the new Movistar + period series

The streaming platform Movistar + premieres this Friday, May 7, a new period series: Belgravia. Just at a time when this type of series has a large number of followers due to the success of Los Bridgerton or La cocinera de Castamar. We are going to give you 5 reasons not to miss this series. Its creator is Downton Abbey One of the guarantees of the quality of the series is that its creator is Julian Fellowes, the head of Downton Abbey. In this well-known and mythical British series Julian Fellowes has managed to capture the class differences that have so marked British society in the past. Surely you have taken care of every last detail of the setting of the Belgravia series.A historical and real setting The action of Belgravia begins in a real historical moment, the eve of the battle of Warterloo. One of the most prominent figures of Belgravia Charlotte Lennox, the Duchess of Richmond, has organized a ball in honor of the Duke of Wellington which is attended by the most prominent figures of the European aristocracy. With this social event he will try to lift his spirits before the advances of Napoleon’s troops. But in the end the night does not turn out well and decades later the events of that fateful night of June 15, 1815 will still be remembered. Belgravia Rigid British society In these period series an attempt is made to show how “those above and below” lived. On the one hand, the nobility in which characters such as the Duchess of Richmond and Los Trenchards are located, a lower-class family but now rubbing shoulders with the highest in society. On the other hand, the large number of people who work for this privileged class, following in the wake of Downton Abbey, the servants, cooks or butlers, among many others.Scandals, secrets and intrigues As in The Bridgertons, in Belgravia we can enjoy all kinds of intrigues and scandals of 19th century British high society. Secrets that will be tried to cover with lies and that will be tried to hide by all the characters. All with that “British” sense of humor that defines some of the characters in the series. A very British castFinally, Belgravia features well-known British television and film actors such as Tamsin Greig (Episodes, Talking Heads); Harriet Walter (Talking Heads, Sense and Sensibility); Tom Wilkinson (Michael Clayton, John Adams, The Kennedys); Philip Glenister (Cranford, Life on Mars); Alice Eve (Agatha Christie: Tragic Innocence, Not in a Dream); Ella Purnell (Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, Never Leave Me) and Richard Goulding (The Iron Lady, The Windsors, Before You) Don’t miss the premiere of Belgravia on Friday, May 7 at 10:30 p.m. at Movistar Series (dial 11).
