There have already been 3 season of a British historical drama series Mr. Selfridge. It’s been familiar to the American audience thanks to the PBS channel. The lucky UK-based viewers have the possibility to watch it right before it is broadcast in the US. But let’s stick to the point of this post: those of you who have been hoping for a renewal, can let out a sigh of relief — season 4 of Mr. Selfridge will be out in 2016.
What is Mr. Selfridge about?
The British drama show tells a story of the founder of Selfridges department store, Harry Gordon Selfridge. The events take place around 1908 in London, during the time when women are gradually given their civil rights. The series is focused around Mr. Harry Selfridge himself, his wife Mrs. Rose Selfridge, some of his family, and his emerging business, Selfridges. The series is based on Shopping, Seduction & Mr Selfridge, a biographic novel by Lindy Woodhead.
