Netflix's "The Lady's Companion" (2025)

In today's episode listen to Stephanie discuss the new Netflix show, "The Lady's Companion" or "Manual para Senoritas." This 8 episode Spanish Romantic Comedy Period Drama premiered March 28th and is a fun time (especially after recovering from all the Tudor Era content).

The Lady's Companion is set in 1880s Madrid and follows Elena Bianda who is a chaperone before girls get married. She's constantly looking for a new job as her turnover is so great. Then she thinks she hit the jackpot when she finds a home with three daughters who have recently lost their mother. She just didn't except to fall in love with one of their potential suitors...

If you like enemies to lovers, forbidden love, betrayal and lots of drama then look no further. You'll find yourself laughing one moment and then crying the next. The Lady's Companion is Spanish speaking and there is an English dub available. If you are a fan of Bridgerton and telenovelas, then this is for you!
