The series features a robust ensemble cast of comedy veterans:

: A manipulative servant maneuvering her way into the family. Satire and Social Commentary

The show parodies both historical "Upstairs/Downstairs" dramas and modern "talking head" reality shows like Keeping Up with the Kardashians . While the Bellacourts live in a lavish mansion with an army of servants, their only real goals are to become "super famous" and maintain their status through scandals, money, and overall debauchery.

The 2015 Comedy Central series is a satirical mockumentary that blends the aesthetic of a Gilded Age drama with the vapid, self-obsessed energy of modern reality TV. Created by and starring comedians Natasha Leggero and Riki Lindhome, the show follows the Bellacourt sisters, Lillian and Beatrice, as they navigate life in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1902.
