Bridgerton has become such a huge success on Netflix and it was recently announced that there will be a prequel that focuses on Queen Charlotte.
“Many viewers had never known the story of Queen Charlotte before Bridgerton brought her to the world, and I’m thrilled this new series will further expand her story and the world of Bridgerton,” said Netflix’s Head of Global TV Bela Bajaria in a statement in May 2021. “Shonda and her team are thoughtfully building out the Bridgerton universe so they can keep delivering for the fans with the same quality and style they love. And by planning and prepping all the upcoming seasons now, we also hope to keep up a pace that will keep even the most insatiable viewers totally fulfilled.”
Rhimes shared with E! News that the prequel will be an origin story about a younger Queen Charlotte. The prequel will follow young Queen Charlotte as well as a young Violet Bridgerton, young Lady Danbury and young Brimsley and how they all got to where they are now. Click here for more.
