A BBC mini-series from 2018, 'The Woman in White', has been added to Netflix and is being hailed as the perfect fix for fans of period dramas like 'Bridgerton'. The five-part thriller-mystery is based on Wilkie Collins' 1860 novel and features Ben Hardy as artist Walter Hartright, who encounters a mysterious woman dressed in white.
The cast includes Jessie Buckley, Olivia Vinall, and Dougray Scott. Hardy is known to soap fans for his role as Peter Beale on 'EastEnders' from 2013 to 2015. The screenplay was written by Fiona Seres, and the series was directed by Carl Tibbetts.
'The Woman in White' holds an 80 per cent score on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics praising its stylish and demanding whodunit plot. The series briefly appeared in Netflix's top 10 after its release.
For 'Bridgerton' enthusiasts awaiting season four, which was confirmed in 2021, this drama offers a compelling interim watch. Season four is expected around 2025, with showrunner Jess Brownell hinting that the lead character has been chosen but not yet revealed.
