‘Belgravia: The Next Chapter’ with a score by John Lunn will premiere in the UK Sunday 9th March on ITVX.
‘A follow up to the 2020 Julian Fellowes-penned drama Belgravia, the series is written by Helen Edmundson (Dalgliesh) and is set in 1871, three decades after the events of the original series. Belgravia: The Next Chapter tells the love story of Frederick Trenchard – who has grown up as the third Lord Glanville – and his new love interest Clara Dunn who is a newcomer to London society, with the lead roles played by Benjamin Wainwright (Gangs of London) and Harriet Slater (Pennyworth). A romantic courtship and proposal follow, and Clara is swept off her feet. But there are hidden depths to Frederick; he carries trauma from his childhood, following years of emotional neglect and resentment from his father, who favoured the younger son, James. Clara is highly perceptive, quickly realising there is trauma at the heart of Frederick’s guarded manner. She grows convinced that by fixing Frederick’s relationship with his estranged brother she can also restore his happiness. In the midst of her plans she starts to develop an unlikely friendship with the charming Dr Ellerby and is drawn into his bohemian world. Excited by the passionate way they live, Clara begins to question her place in the world. Clara and Frederick must chart a course through the rumours which threaten them, and confront long-buried secrets as they search for lasting happiness.’
John’s soundtrack to the series is available now on all digital platforms.
