20 Lesser-Known Historical TV Shows on Netflix in January 2024
Netflix, the ever-expanding universe of TV shows, isn't just about the heavy hitters like 'Outlander' and 'Bridgerton' when it comes to time-traveling through the television screen.
Tucked away in its vast library lie 20 lesser-known historical gems, as rich in detail and drama as their more famous counterparts, yet not as often in the limelight.
These series, starring an array of A-listers who bring life to bygone eras with the same fervor as the leading lights of more popular shows, offer a deep dive into the folds of history, weaving narratives that transport viewers to worlds both beautifully and painstakingly recreated.
From the shadowy corridors of medieval castles to the intrigue-laden courts of ancient empires, each show is a meticulously crafted window into the past, presenting stories that, while they may not have the widespread acclaim of the period drama blockbusters, are bursting with the same caliber of storytelling, acting, and artistry.
These are the shows that prove that sometimes the most captivating tales are those hidden just beneath the surface, waiting for the curious viewer to stray from the beaten path and discover worlds where history is not just a backdrop, but a character in itself, vibrant and alive, told through the lens of characters who are as complex as the times they inhabit.
