Beecham House
Beecham House is a British historical drama television series set in 1795, co-created, directed and produced by Gurinder Chadha. The six-part series was announced in August 2018 and was broadcast between Sunday 23 June 2019 and Sunday 21 July 2019. The series, set in Delhi during the Mughal period, depicts the lives of the Beecham family in their newly bought house. The family is headed by John Beecham, a former soldier with the East India Company who is "determined to make the house his safe haven".
The series was promoted as a "Delhi Downton Abbey", which was repeated by many critics. It received mixed reviews, with critics feeling that it did not live up to expectations as a radical historical drama, but that it remained entertaining for viewers of melodramatic period soap operas.
Despite the cliffhanger ending, ITV did not renew it.
All listed cast appeared in at least 2 episodes.
Gurinder Chadha and Paul Mayeda Berges conceived the series while working on the film Viceroy's House.[citation needed] They took inspiration from Downton Abbey, while mixing English and Indian cultures.
It was produced by Chandra's Bend It TV, which is partly owned by distributor Freemantle Media.
Filming began in Ealing Studios in August 2018. Additional filming took place in Rajasthan and Delhi throughout 2018.
The series began airing in the United States on 14 June 2020 as part of the Masterpiece anthology series on PBS. Three months prior to its North American broadcast, the series was available for streaming on PBS Passport, leading a digital-first release strategy which coincided with the network's March pledge drive. In Australia, the series began airing on Network 10 from 11 July 2020. It was also made available on its catchup service 10 Play prior to its broadcast. In French Switzerland, the series began airing on RTS Un from 27 June 2021.
