Summaries

A mockumentary-style period piece comedy that follows members of the wealthy Bellacourt family and their servants in early 20th-century Newport, Rhode Island.

Another Period follows the lives of the obscenely rich Bellacourt family and their many servants in turn-of-the-century Rhode Island. Natasha Leggero and Riki Lindhome lead an all-star cast - including Michael Ian Black, David Wain, Christina Hendricks, Jason Ritter and Paget Brewster - in this historical satire about narcissistic aristocrats and the poor souls in their employ.—Blondexilla

The Bellacourts of Newport, Rhode Island are a nouveau riche family of the early twentieth century, they never having had the breeding of old money. All six adult members of the family and their respective hangers-on are all vastly different except in one respect: they love their money and what having money means (which includes treating poor people, especially their servants, badly), with the four offspring not knowing what it feels like to be poor or to have to work to earn a living. Daughters Lillian and Beatrice are also similar in that they are both vacuous, vain and want more than anything to become famous without having to do anything to achieve that fame.—Huggo
