Another Period is an American period sitcom television series created by and starring Natasha Leggero and Riki Lindhome. It followed the lives of the Bellacourts, the first family of Newport, Rhode Island, at the turn of the 20th century. Lillian (Leggero) and Beatrice (Lindhome) played sisters "who care only about how they look, what parties they attend and becoming famous, which is a lot harder in 1902".[1] It was intended to be a spoof on reality shows like Keeping Up with the Kardashians while roughly contemporaneous with Downton Abbey and satirizing many of the same themes of class and social standing.[2]

The series was picked up for 10 episodes and debuted on Comedy Central on June 23, 2015. It was directed by Jeremy Konner, co-creator and writer of Drunk History. Ben Stiller's production company Red Hour produced. Leggero, Lindhome, and Konner also served as executive producers.[3] The second season premiered on June 15, 2016.[4] On May 23, 2016, it was renewed for a third season,[5] which premiered on January 23, 2018.[6] In November 2018, Comedy Central announced it canceled the series after three seasons.[7]

It's kind of like Keeping Up With The Kardashians meets Downton Abbey, I guess. Riki Lindhome and I play these rich and sort of tacky heiresses who are just trying to get into society and become famous, which is hard in 1902 because there's no TV or media.
