‘Another Period’ – The Real Aristocrats of Newport, Rhode Island

Another Period follows the lives of the obscenely rich Bellacourt family and their many servants in turn-of-the-century, gilded age Newport, Rhode Island.

Natasha Leggero and Riki Lindhome lead an all-star cast — including Michael Ian Black, David Wain, Christina Hendricks, Jason Ritter and Paget Brewster — in this historical satire about narcissistic aristocrats and the poor souls in their employ.

Before others claimed their fame, there was one American family that stood for all that was spoiled, shameless and stupid. Meet the Bellacourts – Newport, RI’s first family of the Gilded Age. They are The Original Ballers. They have tons of money, live in a big-ass mansion and employ a whole team of Fonzworth Bentleys. However, the Bellacourts’ servants have to do a lot more than hold umbrellas.

Another Period Season 3 premiers January 23rd on Comedy Central.
