About

You can stream Upstairs, Downstairs (1971) on Apple TV+ with a subscription.

Upstairs: the wealthy, aristocratic Bellamys. Downstairs: their loyal and lively servants. For nearly 30 years, they share a fashionable townhouse at 165 Eaton Place in London’s posh Belgravia neighborhood, surviving social change, political upheaval, scandals, and the horrors of the First World War.

While most period dramas focus solely on the gilded lives of the elite, this series finds its heartbeat in the shared struggles and sharp wit of the domestic staff. You will witness decades of social upheaval through the eyes of the people who actually keep the household running.
