Not over Bridgerton?

While you wait for season three, this new show might be able to help you fill that void.

The Courtship is a new, ongoing reality dating show on NBC set in the Regency era with 16 men and one woman.

It's like The Bachelorette, except the suitors live in a castle with one woman, and all of them are dressed in Bridgerton period costumes.

In the show, the 16 men, who come from the US, UK, Spain, and South Korea, must learn the basics of 18th-century British etiquette, in order to win over Nicole Rémy, the bachelorette's, heart.

Each episode sends the men on a challenge or Regency-era activity, and by the end, Nicole has to bid farewell to eliminated contestants.

If you're curious to watch the series but haven't, here's a quick background about each suitor:
