The BBC has announced Desperate Romantics, a 19th century-set period drama in the vein of Entourage, for its 2009/10 schedule.
The six-part 60-minute series revolves around the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of English painters, poets and critics, as they search for fame, fortune and sex.
Peter Bowker (Blackpool, ShakespeaRe-Told) has written the series, which will be produced by Ben Evans.
Kate Harwood, BBC Drama's controller of series and serials said: "Basically, it's Entourage with easels. Desperate Romantics paints a modern, vivid and irreverent portrait of this group of painters whose attitude to the establishment makes them comparable to the punks a hundred years later."
Desperate Romantics will commence production in London early next year.
