The series will expand upon Queen Charlotte, who was rumored to be Black and forms the basis of Bridgerton‘s approach to race in the Georgian era. Golda Rosheuvel played Charlotte in Bridgerton Season 1, but may not depending on when the limited series is set.
“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. 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,” Netflix’s Bela Bajaria told The Hollywood Reporter.
“Bridgerton universe” sure does have a nice ring to it. You can watch Bridgerton Season 1 on Netflix.
