Between The Crown, Good Girls Revolt, and Versailles premiering this fall, we're officially living in a golden age of period drama on television. And come early 2017, you'll want to add Mercy Street—a PBS original that follows the lives of doctors, nurses, soldiers, and free and enslaved African Americans on both sides of the Civil War in Alexandria, Virginia—to your watch list.

Season two of the series picks up where the first left off, and the sneak peek below features battle footage set to a reading of the Emancipation Proclamation, foreshadowing the intense history to come in the war-torn city.

Watch the exclusive trailer here, then tune in to PBS on Sunday, January 22 at 8 p.m. eastern / 7 p.m. central for the premiere.
