The series has an ensemble cast that includes Philip Glenister as James Trenchard, Tamsin Greig as Anne Trenchard, Richard Goulding as Oliver Trenchard, son of James and Anne; Emily Reid as Sophia Trenchard, daughter of James and Anne; and Alice Eve as Susan Trenchard, wife of Oliver.
Other members of the cast include Paul Ritter, Saskia Reeves, Bronagh Gallagher, Tom Wilkinson, Harriet Walter, Jeremy Neumark Jones, James Fleet, Diana Hardcastle, Adam James, among others.
Does the series have a continuation?
While “Belgravia” is a limited series, and it can be watched entirely and have a full ending, the series has a continuation in “Belgravia: The Next Chapter,” a new series that takes place several decades after the events of the original.
