Amazon has released the trailer for the buzzy BBC period drama The Pursuit of Love starring Lily James, Emily Beecham, Dominic West, Andrew Scott, Dolly Wells, and more. And spoiler alert, it looks like precisely the frothy romantic delight we've been waiting for since the Bridgerton hiatus started.

Based on Nancy Mitford's groundbreaking 1945 novel of the same name, the story may be set between the first and second world wars, but The Pursuit of Love has a distinctly modern sensibility, raising the sort of personal questions that still remain relevant to viewers today - about freedom, love, sex, and the human heart.

The series is centered around the women of the upper-class Radlett family, including the charismatic and fearless Linda (James) and her best friend and cousin Fanny Logan (Beecham). Though political divisions are roiling the nation, these two girls are more interested in finding love, but only with the understanding that their friendship is more important than anything else in their lives.
