One of the most memorable characters Bridgertonis the scheming queen Charlotte, who is easily bored, snuff-sniffing and ultimately pro-love. This role was played by Golda Rossheuvel and is based on King George III (the man that America revolutionized against back in 1776).
And because of the series’ popularity, Netflix is giving us viewers what we want: a prequel spin-off about Queen Charlotte that will also feature two other grand dames of the ton. We can’t wait!
Here’s everything we know about the upcoming series…
It’s about Queen Charlotte, Lady Danbury, and Violet Bridgerton. “While the series will center on the rise and love life of a young Queen Charlotte, it will also tell the stories of young Violet Bridgerton and Lady Danbury,” Netflix said in a press release.
“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,” added Netflix executive Bela Bajaria.
It’s another ShondaLand joint. “Shonda Rhimes will write the series and serve as executive producer alongside Betsy Beers and Tom Verica,” said Netflix.
It will only be available in a limited number of copies.There has not yet been an episode number.

It will include some of the current cast. Even though it’s about the “younger” versions of the characters we know and love, Rosheuvel told E! News, “I will be in it. At the moment, we do not have a film date or any scripts.
“We’re going to still be in the world of Bridgerton. We’re not moving away from the world that we know and love Queen Charlotte to be in. I think that’s really clever, because it kind of keeps us on the same track,” she said, continuing, “I think it’s really going to be interesting to see where she has come from and the things that have led her to her in the Bridgerton that we know and love.”
