Last Updated on February 28, 2023
We’ve gathered up the period dramas that are newly included with your US Prime Video membership in December 2022, and January and February 2023. We also include titles that can be watched for free with Freevee, no subscription needed.
Then, we share the historical / costume / period dramas that are newly available on Prime Video Add-On Channels, are available to rent, and movies and TV series in the genre that are being released to DVD this fall.
Check this list throughout the season; we’ll update all the sections (alphabetically) as more titles become available. If some of these titles look familiar, it’s because they were previously available with Prime Video, were pulled off, and now they are back.
To help keep this site running: Willow and Thatch may receive a commission when you click on any of the links on our site and make a purchase after doing so.
To watch the trailers for the movies and TV series on this list, read the descriptions and add them to your watchlist, just click on the title of the film. This is a US-based list, but if you live in Canada or the UK, you can also use our links to check availability in your country.
From British costume dramas to sweeping romantic epics, there’s a lot here by the end of the season; we hope this list helps you discover more period dramas to love.
The fall Prime Video list is here. Also see the list of Period Dramas New on Netflix Winter 2022.
