I'm always looking for a new Regency period romance to fill the Bridgerton void (which might, in and of itself, be filling the Jane Austen void?), and I have just recently stumbled upon a new show: Seeking Persephone. The name on its own makes me want to watch! There's no doubt that even though period romances put their characters in some stifling situations, those social expectations means we get to see so much yearning and unexpressed desire. Yeah, say less.
Here's everything you need to know about Seeking Persephone, and why it's the perfect show to hold you over until Bridgerton season 5.
