Harlots Season 4 Update: Alison Newman and Moira Buffini created a period drama entitled Harlots, said to be inspired by Hallie Rubenhold’s novel named The Covent Garden Ladies. The first season of Harlots premiered in the UK on 27 March 2017 and two days later in the US on 29 March 2017.
When Hulu canceled the series for the United States, BBC Two cut in to claim the broadcasting rights of the show. The network provided the show to the viewers at the time of the pandemic, a good move. Harlots hit BBC screen on 5 August 2020 and were already renewed for the subsequent two seasons. At the same time, it was predetermined that there will be no season four for Harlots.
