Mark your calendars, period drama fans: The film adaptation of Laura Moriarty’s The Chaperone, starring Downton Abbey alum Elizabeth McGovern, is coming to PBS Masterpiece next month.

The film follows the real-life story of actress Louise Brooks and tells a fictionalized account of her travels from Wichita, Kansas to New York City, where she attended the Denishawn School of Dancing and Related Arts. She’s accompanied on this journey by local society matron Norma Carlisle (McGovern), and the developing relationship between the two forms the spine of the movie.

The film will air the weekend before Thanksgiving, on Sunday, November 24, 2019.
