Netflix Drops Teaser Trailer For 'Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story'
The streaming giant is giving fans a first look at Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story as well as an official release date.
Good news for Bridgerton fans. The series, which hit Netflix in December 2020, won over a legion of fans that fell in love with the Shonda Rhimes-created show's engaging and romantic storyline. In addition to two more seasons, the production will have its very own spin-off, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.
The new project is a prequel to the story focusing on the rise and love life of Queen Charlotte, who was originally played by Golda Rosheuvel in Bridgerton.
It is worth mentioning that the character is based on the royal monarch. "Many viewers never knew the story of Queen Charlotte before Bridgerton brought her into the world, and I am thrilled that this new series will further expand her story and the world of Bridgerton," said Netflix's Bela Bajaria in a statement.
In addition to showing the story of Queen Charlotte, the series will also reveal the trajectory of Violet Bridgerton and Lady Danbury.
Rhimes will write and executive produce the new project, alongside Tom Verica and Betsy Beers.
During Netflix's global Tudum event in September 2022, Bridgerton actresses Rosheuvel and Adjoa Andoh introduced the star of Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, India Amarteifio, as well as a sneak peek from the show's first season. In January 2023, Netflix released photos of the young Lady Danbury, who will be played by actress Arsema Thomas.
On Valentine's Day 2023, Netflix dropped the first teaser trailer for the series, giving fans a little taste of what's the come from the new show, as well as an official release date: May 4.
In the clip, viewers see a young Charlotte set up for a political marriage with King George. As Bridgerton viewers already know, in this world, it was Charlotte's marriage to George that paved the way for Black members of the aristocracy. However, despite their deep love for one another—watch the teaser to get a taste of some of the show's steamier scenes!—it's clear that Charlotte and George's relationship did not start out on easy footing.
While Netflix's minute-long teaser doesn't reveal too much, it's definitely enough to ensure that fans of the original series will be tuning in on May 4 to get a taste of the series they know and love as they await Bridgerton Season 3.
