Downton Abbey has come to an end – both across the pond and here at home – but the period piece binge is just beginning.
While Downton writer and creator Julian Fellowes has two projects in the pipeline – a miniseries, Dr. Thorne, and a show for NBC, The Gilded Age, fans still have a bit to wait until those will hit their screens (Gilded Age has been said to be aiming for a 2017 release, while Dr. Thorne may be coming at the end of the year.)
In the meantime, here are 11 movies, TV shows and miniseries that will quench your period piece thirst.
