Welcome to the 10th annual Upcoming Period Dramas post (a list of historical dramas and costume dramas set in a specific time period)!

It’s hard to believe that I’ve been doing this for 10 years now. It all began with this post for Period Dramas coming out in 2013 (and what wonderful historical dramas there were!), when it was just a list of films in alphabetical order with trailers. It was then followed by a Review of all the Period Dramas I had seen in 2013.

I would like to thank my faithful visitors for your support and for informing of me of upcoming period dramas that I have missed! I apologise that I am still terrible at responding so thank you very much for your patience!

The following list is in chronological order (alphabetical where no date is specified) by release date and will be updated as more films and release dates are known. For a complete list of all period dramas, you can visit my my imdb lists.
