Another Period
Created by Riki Lindhome, Natasha Leggero
A high-energy period parody sitcom that mines comedy from the vapidity and entitlement of the ultra-wealthy, sustained by sharp satirical writing and a reliable episodic format.
Set at the turn of the century, “Another Period” follows the misadventures of the Bellacourts, Newport, RI’s first family, who have absolutely nothing to offer to the world, but who have so much money it doesn’t matter. The series focuses on sisters “Lillian” and “Beatrice”, who care only about how they look, what parties they attend and becoming famous, which is a lot harder in 1902.
