Outlander is a historical drama television series based on Diana Gabaldon's ongoing novel series of the same name. The program, created by Ronald D. Moore, aired on Starz on August 9, 2014. Caitrona Balfe plays Claire Randall, a married former Second World War military nurse in Scotland who is sent back in time to 1743 in 1945. There, she meets, falls in love with, and marries a handsome Highland warrior called Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), a Tacksman of Gabaldon's fictitious Clan Fraser of Lovat, and gets involved in the Jacobite rebellion.

Throughout the seasons, Outlander explores various distinct historical periods, although the crux of the plot takes place in Scotland in the 1700s. The show follows Caitrona Balfe as Claire Randall, a former World War II medic, on a honeymoon journey with her husband, Frank Randall, until an encounter with standing stones at Craigh Dun transports Claire back to 1743. There, she meets a young Scottish Highlander called Jamie Fraser, played by Sam Heughan, and they quickly fall in love as Claire tries to navigate a time of history she knows may be perilous. Outlander has been running for five seasons and is a fantastic series, so if you haven't seen it yet, now is the time.

Troy: Fall of a City is a British-American historical drama based on the Trojan War and Paris and Helen's love story. The drama is set in the 13th century BC and portrays the narrative of the 10-year siege of Troy.

Troy: Fall of a City is about the Trojan War in the 13th century BC, as you might have guessed from the title. The plot revolves around Paris, the prince of Troy, and his love affair with Helen of Sparta, played by Bella Dayne, King Menelaus' wife (Jonas Armstrong). Troy: Fall of a City tells the account of the 10-year battle that erupted as a result of the couple's romance, highlighting both the human and heavenly drama, with the Greek gods playing an important role.

Frontier is a Canadian historical drama television series developed by Rob and Peter Blackie that follows the North American fur trade in colonial Canada/Land Rupert's in the late 1700s or early 1800s. The series is co-produced by Discovery Canada and Netflix as the channel's first original scripted commission. The show debuted on November 6, 2016. Jason Momoa moved on to another tough drama called Frontier a few years after Khal Drogo died on Game of Thrones.

Frontier is set in the late 1800s in Canada and follows the North American fur trade and the Hudson's Bay Company's struggle to keep a corrupt, imposed monopoly on the sector. Momoa plays Declan Harp, an outlaw who is half-Irish and half-Cree — one of Canada's major First Nations — who opposes Hudson's Bay Company dominance. Harp is unafraid to go to any length, no matter how violent, to break the company's grip over Canada and the country's most important enterprise. Frontier is rough and exhilarating, and it's ideal for anyone who misses Drogo and his fiery personality.

Of course, there are many others competing for control of England, but the Shelbys never give up.

Peaky Blinders has featured many fantastic actors in supporting roles over the course of the series' five seasons, with the sixth and final season coming soon, including Sam Neill as the corrupt Chief Inspector Chester Campbell, Tom Hardy as Alfie Solomons, the leader of a Jewish gang in Camden Town, and Adrien Brody as Italian-American gangster Luca Changretta.
