Episodes
Spring
In this first episode, it's spring, and Easter is the first big weekend of the Castle Howard calendar. The owners hope to capitalise on the house's use as a location in Bridgerton to offset the estate's £50 million deficit. Curator Eleanor and designer Adrian are charged with creating a Castle Howard On Screen exhibition.
Summer
In July, Nick Howard and Dave the caretaker dusting off and struggling to fire up the 1959 family Bentley for the first big event of the summer - a classic car show. The 2022 heatwave strikes North Yorkshire, driving visitors away from the baking-hot gardens, forcing the iconic Atlas fountain to run dry, and rendering the fire sprinklers protecting the priceless collection of antiquities in the main house useless.
Autumn
The estate prepares to host the International Sheepdog Trials in September - but events take a dramatic turn when the death of the Queen is suddenly announced. While the estate is closed for a period of mourning, Nick and George take time out to inspect the family mausoleum; the largest burial tomb in Northern Europe requiring £15million of renovation.
Christmas at Castle Howard
The estate's fortunes hinge on a successful Christmas season, which is always a financial gamble. Theatrical designers Charlotte Lloyd Weber and Adrian Lillie create fairytale-inspired installations throughout the house, while the hunt is on for a Christmas tree large enough to fill the 70-foot domed ceiling of the great hall, The festive plans are further disrupted by two days of torrential rain and a leaking roof.

Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
