Only a few months before the highly anticipated release of Bridgerton season 4, Netflix has announced a new period romance drama called The Granville Girls. Based on The Gilbert Girls book series by Cat Cahill, the show is set in rural Colorado, and it features some exciting romances that will leave fans swooning.

The 8-part historical romance series comes from showrunner and writer Adriana Maggs, but the streamer has yet to confirm the official casting and release date. It might be a while until we get to see it on screen, but the producers have already released a first logline to give us a taste of what it's about.

"As the great railway sweeps across the Canadian Rockies, Emma Daniels becomes a 'Granville Girl,' one of a select few women hired to work at the Granville Hotel," reads the synopsis, "The job offers adventure, friendship, and a chance to support her family – if she can resist the hotel's strictest rule: never fraternize with the men. But when Emma's heart is captured by the hotel's mysterious builder, she faces a choice that could cost her everything."
