Before others staked a claim, there was one American family who stood for all that was spoiled, shameless and stupid. It's the Bellacourts, and as Rhode Island's first family of the Gilded Age, the insanely ridiculous, debaucherous clan have more servants than relatives, and days are filled with money, sex, drugs and more money. With nothing of substance to offer their fellow citizens, the Bellacourts are solely concerned with how they look, what parties they attend, and -- in the case of sisters Lillian and Beatrice, especially -- becoming super famous. Co-executive producers Natasha Leggero and Riki Lindhome star as Lillian and Beatrice, respectively.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Another Period benefits from a brilliant cast and clever concept that bawdily lampoons historic dramas and reality TV, though its premise may prove difficult to maintain over time.

Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald Aug 2, 2018
Comedian Natasha Leggero and the equally delightful Riki Lindhome (of Garfunkel and Oates) created and star in this surreal, reality TV-style mash-up of Downton Abbey and Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Go to Full Review Sonia Saraiya Salon.com Aug 25, 2015
The dangling setup is both confrontationally mean-spirited and largely unresolved, in favor of some low-grade finger-up-the-butt jokes. Go to Full Review Margaret Lyons New York Magazine/Vulture Jul 2, 2015
It's very funny and very odd, with production values reminiscent of Drunk History, and the same feeling of "Oh boy, they seem like they're having a really good time" that that series engenders. Go to Full Review Emily Ashby Common Sense Media Jun 26, 2015
4/5
Another Period is as scintillating as it is irreverent in its blistering satire of both period dramas and reality shows. Go to Full Review Jon Espino The Young Folks Jun 25, 2015

This is nowhere near Comedy Central's worst comedy, but it has yet to reach the high comedic standard that has been established for it. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Feb 21, 2021 BPR Review: Another Period (2013-2018). BRILLIANT. Cutting and ruthless in its commentary on modern society under the guise of America in the early 1900s, show creators and stars Natasha Leggero and Riki Lindhome pioneered what I think may be the absolute BEST comedy of the last decade you've probably never seen (or heard of, based on it initially airing on Comedy Central, but now viewable on CBS All-Access). Lindhome in particular deserved an Emmy for her performance as the outwardly ditzy blond, but secretly genius sister who has to downplay her intelligence in early-20th century aristocratic society. Kudos also to Jason Ritter, son and spitting image of the late John Ritter of Three's Company fame, and who inherited every ounce of his father's comedic ability. #anotherperiod #comedycentral #natashaleggero #rikilindhome #jasonritter See more andrew f @FrostyDownunder Aug 11, 2018 To quote Catherine Tate as Nan “What a load of old Shit!” See more Jan 4, 2017 I find this quirky and odd comedy very refreshing and different from the mainstream. The writing style and humour is superb as it creates a post-modern satire of 'The Kardashians' beamed back in time to Another Period! I think what I enjoy the most about this quirky comedy is that each of the characters, bring to the table... their own style and personality. It is easy to root for each of them and I can honestly say that I am looking forward to Season 3... more than any other anticipated series. See more Aug 24, 2016 Brilliant farce...love it See more Jul 26, 2016 Hilarious Downton Abbey parody. See more Jun 10, 2016 Like the show, a few weak casting choices and some poor acting by a few of the minor characters. Really dislike the hip hop, wish they would stick with music that fits era. Natasha Leggero& Riki Lindhome are very talented and wish them all the best. See more Read all reviews
