Finished watching My Brilliant Career on Netflix? Stream this 'wild' and 'bonkers' period drama on Prime Video next — it's an even better double bill than Bridgerton

Finished watching My Brilliant Career on Netflix not too long ago, and I still can't get enough of it. Based on the 1901 novel of the same name by Miles Franklin, the story follows Sybylla, the eldest daughter of a gully named Possum Gully. Forced to move into her grandmother's house to conform to high society, Sybylla is determined to live life on her own terms and become a writer. This strong-willed and confident character is timeless, leaving me wanting more after its six episodes.

Initially, I thought re-watching Bridgerton would satisfy my craving for more period drama, but I found a better option on Prime Video: My Lady Jane. This beautifully bonkers show is the perfect double bill to watch after My Brilliant Career. Alongside both being period dramas, they share a unique and quirky perspective on history.

My Brilliant Career draws from Miles Franklin's novel, while My Lady Jane follows a 16-year-old Jane Grey in an alternate Tudor England, where she avoids her nine-day reign and execution by dealing with magical shape-shifting creatures. Her forced marriage is far from tragic, instead making for a hilarious subplot.

My Lady Jane was quickly cancelled, but its popularity and critical acclaim have led to a resurgence in interest. Sharing the same charm and wit as My Brilliant Career, this show is a perfect follow-up. Classic actress Anna Chancellor, known for her role as Grandmother Bossier in My Brilliant Career, also stars as Lady Frances in My Lady Jane.

Her sharp, pithy, and slightly bohemian storytelling style complements both narratives. These two shows are like long-lost sisters reunited after decades, providing a perfect and hilarious viewing experience. So, stop reading and start streaming My Lady Jane right away!
