20 Most Hotly Anticipated New TV Shows Of 2021
17. The Pursuit Of Love
British television absolutely loves its period dramas and it has no plans to change that in 2021. This time, we'll see Nancy Mitford's classic novel The Pursuit Of Love hit our screens, with Lily James taking on the lead role.
The show will be a romantic comedy that is set in Europe between the two World Wars. James will portray feminist Linda Radlett, who seeks adventure in her life - and, as a result, opts to go traveling across Europe in search of the ideal husband with her best friend Fanny Logan (played by Emily Beecham). However, Fanny chooses a more conventional path while Linda is determined to follow her heart at all costs.
Like all good period dramas, The Pursuit of Love will undoubtedly be aesthetically-pleasing from beginning to end but if it's anything like the novel, it will also be a touching and thought-provoking piece of television that highlights how love is relevant to any period.
