I’m always looking for a new Regency period romance to fill the Bridgerton void (which might, in and of itself, be filling the Jane Austen void?), and I have just recently stumbled upon a new show: Seeking Persephone. The name on its own makes me want to watch! There’s no doubt that even though period romances put their characters in some stifling situations, those social expectations means we get to see so much yearning and unexpressed desire. Yeah, say less.

Here’s everything you need to know about Seeking Persephone, and why it’s the perfect show to hold you over until Bridgerton season 5.

Where can I watch the Seeking Persephone series?

You can check out Seeking Persephone on Amazon Prime, where you can buy each episode or the whole season. According to their website, it’s the best-selling show on Prime right now!

What is the plot of Seeking Persephone?

Based on the books by Sarah M. Eden, Seeking Persephone follows the titular character, who agrees to marry the Duke of Kielder to save her family…and ends up in an unexpected and passionate relationship.

Besides the fact that this book series follows different members of the Lancaster family, just like the Bridgerton books do, the series is about love you never saw coming, just like the Netflix show.

Who’s in the Seeking Persephone cast?

The Seeking Persephone cast includes Ryann Bailey (The Sheriffs of Savage Wells), Jake Stormoen (Haul Out the Holly), Toby-Alexander Smith (EastEnders), Catherine Hannay (An American in Austen), Charlotte Hemmings (The Stranger in My Home), and Will Kemp (Spinning Out).

Is Seeking Persephone only 4 episodes?

Yes, there are only four episodes of Seeking Persephone. That means it’s the perfect weekend binge watch!

Is Seeking Persephone clean?

Yes, where Bridgerton is pretty steamy, Seeking Persephone is more of a clean romance that has less graphic sex. It’s rated TV-PG (Bridgerton is rated TV-MA).

The 23-year-old country singer had once opened for Riley at a music festival in 2023, where he handed her a signed koozie she never forgot. So when she finally reached the Blind Auditions, Kenna brought it with her and chose Chris Stapleton’s “White Horse” — knowing exactly which coach she secretly wanted. Riley turned. Then Queen Latifah did too. Both heard the nerves in her voice, but both also heard enough to fight for her. And suddenly, Kenna had to choose between the coach she had dreamed about for years and the superstar who had just surprised her.

Even Adam Levine admitted he regretted not turning, while Riley Green gave Brooklyn a brutally humble reason for staying out of the battle. Then came the decision no one could make for her.

SHE HAD BEEN LIVING OUT OF HER CAR FOR 18 MONTHS — THEN AMANDA MIKKEL WALKED ONTO THE VOICE, SANG “MOON RIVER” AND HAD ALL FOUR COACHES ON THEIR FEET.

Then came the Blind Audition. Within seconds, chairs started turning. By the end, Kelly Clarkson, Riley Green, Queen Latifah and Adam Levine were all standing — with Green saying it no longer felt like an audition at all. But what happened next changed Amanda’s entire competition in one move. 👇 WATCH THE “MOON RIVER” PERFORMANCE — AND SEE THE SURPRISE DECISION THAT LEFT KELLY CLARKSON STUNNED.
