Watch the Trailer for Julian Fellowes' Football Drama 'The English Game'
Turns out that Belgravia isn't the only Julian Fellowes period drama headed our way this Spring.
New six-part series The English Game arrives on Netflix this month, and aims to tell the story of 19th-century origins of football (soccer to us Americans, of course) and explore how those involved in its creation reached across the class divide to establish the game as the world’s most popular sport.
Set in Northern England, it follows the story of aristocratic Arthur Kinnaird - the "First Lord of Football" - and Fergus Suter, a stonemason from Glasgow who is generally recognized as the first professional footballer.
