‘Belgravia’ Preview

Julian Fellowes and Gareth Neame were two of the executive producers of the surprise megahit period drama Downton Abbey. Now they’re back with Belgravia, a new six-part series based on Fellowes’ novel of the same name.

According to the EPIX press release, Belgravia “is a story of secrets and scandals amongst the upper echelon of London society in the 19th century. When the Trenchards accept an invitation to the now legendary ball hosted by the Duchess of Richmond on the fateful eve of the Battle of Waterloo, it sets in motion a series of events that will have consequences for decades to come as secrets unravel behind the porticoed doors of London’s grandest neighborhoods.”

If you’ve never heard of the aforementioned Duchess of Richmond’s ball from 1815, the legend is that during the Napoleonic Wars, the French were marching on Brussels. The ball was interrupted by word of the French army’s approach and many of the soldiers left for the battle right then and there.

Much like the way Downton Abbey began with the sinking of the Titanic, which killed the heir to the Crawley estate, Belgravia begins with a real-life historic event as a cultural touchstone that grounds the series in a historical context.

At the 2020 Television Critics Association winter press tour, Fellowes told the audience that the infamous ball was one of those parties where the legend grew over the years to the point where everyone who was anyone claimed to have been there.

“If everyone had been there who claimed it, the ballroom would’ve held about 5,000 people,” said Fellowes. “But it became famous because many of the young men left it to go straight to the Battle of Quatre Bras, and two days later to fight [the Battle of] Waterloo, with many of them still in their dress uniforms that they wore for the ball, and of course many of them were killed in them. So it was a very kind of glamorous, tragic image, really.”

The show, however, is not set during the Napoleonic Wars. The end of the war is nigh in the premiere and the Duchess of Richmond’s ball merely serves as a jumping-off point before the show jumps 25 years into the future, to 1840, and it is set in the posh area of London known as Belgravia (hence the show’s title).

The ensemble cast includes Tom Wilkinson (John Adams), Tamsin Greig (Episodes), Harriet Walter (The Crown), Alice Eve (She’s Out Of My League), Tara Fitzgerald (Game of Thrones), Ella Purnell (Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children), James Fleet (Four Weddings and a Funeral), Adam James (Band of Brothers), and Saskia Reeves (Luther).

Belgravia airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on EPIX.
