Bridgertonwhisks fans into a fantasy version of Regency England they’ve never seen before. The series unveils an integrated ton, where biracial romance is embraced and the queen (Golda Rosheuvel) is a Black woman. But, we’re told, the aristocracy wasn’t always so welcoming.
Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story unfurls the origin story of the “beautiful mixture of humanity” on display in the Bridgerton universe, as executive producer Betsy Beers calls it. At the very core of this tale is the Great Experiment, which kicks off when young Queen Charlotte (India Amarteifio) arrives in England to marry young King George (Corey Mylchreest). The lives of Black socialites like young Agatha Danbury (Arsema Thomas) are revolutionized in the process.
The Queen Charlotte cast, creator and executive producer Shonda Rhimes and the other executive producers are ready to answer every question you have about the Experiment that changed the ton forever.

Any marriage that lasts nearly six decades is certainly a story for the ages, especially if it’s rooted in reality, like the one at the center of Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.
The origins of the 57-year romance between Britain’s King George III and Queen Charlotte are the subject of the series, which was created by Shonda Rhimes and based on characters first introduced on-screen in Bridgerton.
While the British king and queen are very real figures, the six-episode interpretation of their romance is fictional. As the series reminds you in its opening moments, “It is not a history lesson. It is fiction inspired by fact.”
Portrayed in their 1800s iterations by Golda Rosheuvel and James Fleet and as their 1700s predecessors by India Amarteifio and Corey Mylchreest, the royal couple aren’t all that was pulled from history books to create the world of Queen Charlotte. Read...

This story about “Queen Charlotte” costume designers Lyn Paolo and Laura Frecon first appeared in the Down to the Wire: Drama and Limited Series issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
What would a Met Ball with a Georgian theme look like? That was the inspiration behind Lyn Paolo and Laura Frecon’s costumes for Netflix’s “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.” Shonda Rhimes’ spinoff of the hit Regency-era drama series straddles both that period, when Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel) bore the public weight of the Crown, and 56 years earlier, when she (India Amarteifio) married King George (Corey Mylchreest) and adjusted to life as a royal.
For the later timeline, set in 1817, Paolo and Frecon honored the style established by “Bridgerton” costume designer Ellen Mirojnick: high-waisted, fluid gowns influenced by ancient Greece and Rome. For the 1761-set portion, they went back to the conical shape, when women were tightly cinched...

Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, a prequel spin-off of the popular Netflix series Bridgerton, tells the story of Queen Charlotte and King George III, a plotline that was hinted at in Season 2 of the parent show. The prequel explores the origin of a young Charlotte (India Amarteifio) during her arranged marriage to George (Corey Mylchreest).
As a Bridgerton series, the central love story, including the sex scenes, is the most important. Amarteifio and Mylchreest said that creating the chemistry between the two characters went smoothly as the royals’ relationship gradually transformed as the show progressed. At first, they only had sex on even days for the sole purpose of creating an heir. But as they grow closer, their relationship becomes more intimate.
Mylchreest thanked intimacy coordinators Lucy Fennell and Lizzie Talbot for their work, noting that Bridgerton had previously received criticism for making gratuitous sex scenes.

This story about “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story” stars India Amarteifio, Corey Mylchreest and Arsema Thomas first appeared in the Drama Series issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown in “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story,” but the actors who star in the show carry the responsibility together.
As the title indicates, “Queen Charlotte” is a spinoff of Netflix’s wildly popular 19th-century period drama created by Shonda Rhimes. The prequel series was under a lot of pressure to follow up the more or less colorblind society established in “Bridgerton” — in addition to living up to the steaminess synonymous with the Regency-era show that’s based on Julia Quinn’s books.
It’s the story of how teenage Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz married King George of England and rose mightily to her royal position. She is played by India Amarteifio, alongside Corey Mylchreest as George...

Netflix debuted the first “Bridgerton” Season 3 images on Saturday during its fan-centric Tudum event, offering a first look at the new episodes of the wildly popular Netflix series based on Julia Quinn’s books.
Season 3 will deviate from the book series order by skipping Benedict’s love story (the crux of the third book) for that of Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin (Luke Newton), which fans are dying to watch.
Season 2 saw Viscount Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) fall in love with Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley) after first thinking that he should wed her sister Edwina (Charithra Chandran), who was proclaimed the season’s “incomparable.” At the end of Season 1, it was revealed that Penelope is actually Lady Whistledown (voiced by Julie Andrews), the ton’s gossipmonger that always has something sensational printed on her morning pamphlets.

Starring Mary Woodvine, Edward Rowe, Flo Crowe and John Woodvine, the experimental feature shot on 16mm follows a wildlife volunteer living on an otherwise uninhabited island off the Cornish coast in 1973, as her daily observations of a rare flower turn into a metaphysical journey that forces her as well as the viewer to question what is real and what is nightmare.

Arguably one of the most indelible images from the much-discussed Succession finale was that of two hands not quite interlocked. Tom Wambsgans (Matthew Macfadyen) holds out his palm for his wife, Shiv Roy (Sarah Snook), to take in the back of a car. She doesn’t quite grasp it, her hand limply resting in his. It’s a final image of a marriage that audiences witnessed oscillate between flirtation and vitriol during the course of the season.
Of the many threads running through Succession‘s final season, maybe the most captivating was the fractured relationship between Shiv and Tom, who went from playing a bizarre sexualized game called “bitey” to screaming at each other on a terrace during an election night party. By the finale, when Tom was named CEO of the company formerly run by Shiv’s father, their relationship was even more strained.

Millions of fans across the world have now watched Queen Charlotte and King George fall in love, against the odds, in the new spinoff of Netflix's immensely popular show "Bridgerton." And while their palpable chemistry and steamy love scenes have likely inspired a fresh slate of fan fiction, the onscreen lovers' tale already continues on the page, thanks to the woman responsible for the entire Bridgerton universe.
Just days after "Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story" began streaming on Netflix this month, author Julia Quinn's novelization of the drama series was published. Whereas Quinn's Bridgerton book series inspired the similarly titled show, Netflix adaptation's spinoff project served as the seed for the "Queen Charlotte" book.
"I think people sort of thought we were off in a room somewhere [writing]," Quinn tells Popsugar. "I got the scripts when [series creator Shonda Rhimes] was done. So she did her thing, and then I did my thing.

Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story introduced fans to the early days of the royal romance between King George (Corey Mylchreest) and Queen Charlotte (India Amarteifio). The season is set decades before the main Bridgerton timeline begins and mainly centers on Queen Charlotte’s rise to prominence and her complicated marriage to the King of Great Britain and Ireland during the Georgian era. Although the series takes liberties in its storytelling of historical events and British royalty, the limited series has a surprising amount of truth. In the show, King George and Queen Charlotte marry within hours of meeting, and initially, their...

Like “Bridgerton,” “Queen Charlotte features orchestral covers of modern music, but an original composition by Kris Bowers kicks off the soundtrack during Charlotte and George’s wedding in the first episode.
Bowers co-wrote “A Feeling I’ve Never Been” with Tayla Parx based on the work of Joseph Bologne Chevalier de Saint-Georges, a Creole composer who was one of the first men of color to become known for his compositions, and who also happened to be an excellent fencer (and the subject of the 2022 film “Chevalier.”)
“We looked at a few pieces that inspired us and then came up with this seed of an idea that we then built into this larger piece, and so because we approached it with much more of a songwriting way rather than score, that’s why it belongs with some of those other [soundtrack] songs, but it was part of a larger idea that Alex...

One of the best parts of Queen Charlotte is the relationship between young Brimsley (Sam Clemmett) and Reynolds (Freddie Dennis). They may struggle to balance their duties to Queen Charlotte (India Amarteifo) and King George (Corey Mylchreest) with their feelings for each other, but they seem happy when we last see them together. During Charlotte and George’s ball celebrating the birth of their first son, Brimsley and Reynolds sneak a dance together in the garden as an orchestral version of “I Will Always Love You” plays in the background. But just as we see them gaze lovingly into each other’s eyes, we are taken back to the Regency Era where an adult Brimsley (Hugh Sachs) dances alone, begging the question: Where is Reynolds?

In collaboration with longtime Shondaland costume designer Lyn Elizabeth Paolo, Shondaland and Allure Bridals have announced a first-ever bridal gown collection inspired by the opulence of Netflix’s Bridgerton and Queen Charlotte. The Bridgerton Weddings collection will bring to life Paolo’s exquisite Regency- and Georgian-era designs that have come to define the multifaceted Queen Charlotte in the Bridgerton prequel series. Paolo previously worked as a costume consultant on Bridgerton and is an intimate part of bringing the sumptuous Bridgerverse to life.
The idea behind the collection was initiated by Shonda Rhimes and Sandie Bailey, Shondaland’s chief innovation and design officer, when they approached Paolo with the opportunity to design a bridal gown collection influenced by Queen Charlotte’s era in the Bridgerton series.
“The Allure team have been spectacular in listening and sharing and creating together,” says Paolo, who’s worked with Shondaland for a decade on shows including Scandal,...

Golda Rosheuvel, who plays the older version of Queen Charlotte in both the “Bridgerton” series as well as the new spinoff “Queen Charlotte,” had a vague idea of her character’s backstory when working on the flagship Netflix series, but she credits creator Shonda Rhimes with fully bringing her character out of the shadows.
“It was nothing like Shonda presented, but it was I think it was a lot darker because it’s from the imagination, so it’s distant. It’s kind of in the shadows,” she told TheWrap. “In the scenes in ‘Bridgerton,’ whatever it may be, if it’s a ball or a tea party or a tea thing with Lady Danbury, I always try to think of George at least once so that I have that intimate connection, that personal connection.”

The historical world of "Queen Charlotte" - the first "Bridgerton" spinoff series - is so sumptuous that fans might wish to spend a day there. But the "Queen Charlotte" cast tells us there is one downside to wearing heavy, luxurious costumes on the gorgeous sets: It gets really hot!
"We got one of the hottest summers ever," Sam Clemmett, who plays Young Brimsley, tells Popsugar. One way they beat the heat was by having cooling tents right off set, where they could get a blast of cold air in between takes. Arsema Thomas, who plays young Lady Danbury, says she would have to "take off bits" of her costume when it was "extremely hot," but that the costume department also gave her "arm pit pads" right in her dresses to soak up the sweat. She calls herself a "very sweaty person."

Netflix’s decision to create an entire prequel about “Bridgerton” breakout Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel) may have initially surprised audiences — but the series’ smash-hit success might stir things up as much as its royal protagonist.
In the week since its May 4 premiere, “Queen Charlotte” was watched for 148.28 million hours, becoming the top English-language series on the platform in the U.S. (and entering the top 10 in 91 countries). It scored high with audiences and critics, and the six episodes (including a feature-length finale) were devoured by “Bridgerton” fans around the world, proving the steamy, semi-fictional Regency world to be even more fruitful than expected.
While the initial “Queen Charlotte” announcement surprised many, Netflix made clear from the jump that this was no ordinary spinoff but a top priority, written by “Bridgerton” executive producer Shonda Rhimes. Rhimes’ name is almost inextricable from the televised “Bridgerton” brand, where Chris Van Dusen served as...

One scene, in fact, finds the men sharing a bath, with Brimsley predicting that Charlotte and George will grow old together, noting that they too could spend a “lifetime” together as the royals’ servants.

“Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story” filmed in many historic locations in England, but that also meant strict guidelines for production.
Season 1 of the popular Netflix show filmed at a number of precious historic estates, with Blenheim Palace becoming Buckingham House.
Despite the numerous steamy scenes between the stars of the show, however, none of them actually took place in the estates.
“In a lot of these stately homes, you can’t have the intimacy scenes in the beds. You can’t touch the beds. You can’t move the beds,” explained “Queen Charlotte” production designer David Ingram to People, but “being a Bridgerton story, there’s a lot of intimacy.”
Instead, they had to build reconstructions of those rooms at a nearby studio.

“Bridgerton” author Julia Quinn encourages fans to look at the bright side of Benedict’s love story being pushed back for Colin and Penelope’s in the next season.
Season 3 of the Netflix drama series will adapt the fourth book in Quinn’s series, “Romancing Mister Bridgerton” which features Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlin) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) instead of the storyline from the third book, “An Offer from a Gentleman.”
“I think they had just felt they had laid down so much groundwork because we already know Penelope,” Quinn told Business Insider of the shift in narrative.

The "Bridgerton" franchise is well-versed in producing heartthrobs. Take the first two seasons, for example. We are forever grateful to production company Shondaland for giving us a number of intimate scenes featuring leading men Regé-Jean Page and Jonathan Bailey. And the release of the "Bridgerton" prequel, "Queen Charlotte," has given us yet another actor to swoon over. Enter: Corey Mylchreest, who plays the young King George opposite India Amarteifio's Queen Charlotte.
The 25-year-old Londoner has already won legions of fans for his steamy turn as King George and his nuanced portrayal of the monarch's mental illness in the Netflix show. Loosely based on the real King George III, the "Bridgerton" spinoff, which was released on May 4, follows the story of Queen Charlotte's arranged marriage. While there are steamy sex scenes mixed with period drama attitude, Nylchreest is also swiftly becoming one to watch. "Corey Mylchreest is my main man now.

Dearest gentle reader: “Queen Charlotte” has been declared a jewel of Netflix’s spring season.
The “Bridgerton” spinoff had a regal first week of streaming, logging 148.28 million hours viewed on Netflix. The streamer announced the viewership numbers via its weekly Top 10 Global English Language TV Show viewership chart, dated May 1-7, which the good Queen unsurprisingly topped at No. 1; the limited series made that ascension with just four days of viewing, after dropping all episodes May 4.
If every viewer who started “Queen Charlotte” finished it during the week, the show would have received roughly 22 million viewers, according to Netflix’s estimates based on the show’s running time. That means the fictionalized King George’s coronation this weekend was likely watched by fewer people compared to that other coronation going on, although it did manage to surpass Charles and Camilla’s UK ratings at the very least.

Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story takes viewers back to the origins and rise to power of Queen Charlotte. The Bridgerton prequel is a limited series but creator Shonda Rhimes leaves the door slightly open for a second season.
“There have been questions, but I’m not having conversations about it yet,” Rhimes told EW about a second season of the prequel. “I could live with Charlotte and George forever, but we told a very specific, closed-ended story that I think is a complete tale of this complicated, imperfect love. But I’m not ruling anything out because I never know.”
India Amarteifio plays the young Queen Charlotte and is joined by Corey Mylchreest as George) and Arsema Thomas as a young Agatha.

Here’s how “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Bridgerton” creator Shonda Rhimes thinks about sex scenes: carefully.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly in support of her just-launched Netflix series “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story,” the doyen of steamy TV expounded on her philosophy for writing sexy sequences, telling the outlet she really doesn’t “write them any differently,” no matter if they are for broadcast or streaming TV. “I really don’t.

I basically write like, ‘This is how we want them to feel.'”

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly in support of her just-launched Netflix series “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story,” the doyen of steamy TV expounded on her philosophy for writing sexy sequences, telling the outlet she really doesn’t “write them any differently,” no matter if they are for broadcast or streaming TV. “I really don’t. I’m kind of a prude,” she said. “So, what I write into the scenes is what I want the audience to get in terms of the character emotion or the character story that’s playing out.

“Queen Charlotte” star Corey Mylchreest took inspiration from the historical King George, Jeremy Strong’s “Succession” character Kendall Roy and actor Jason Bateman to bring his version of the young monarch to life in Netflix’s “Bridgerton” prequel series from Shonda Rhimes.
“There was a place in George that you can go to that is how Jason Bateman is when he’s doing interviews and press. [He] is so quick and so funny and so charming in a brilliant way. In a way that makes me think, ‘Surely that can’t be the level that you’re at all the time,” Mylchreest told TheWrap. “George definitely has that ability to protect himself and through protecting himself became this charming thing to sort dazzle or separate from or place the attention onto something else or someone else.”

[This story contains mild spoilers from the first two episodes of Queen Charlotte.]
Five minutes into Shonda Rhimes’ Bridgerton prequel Queen Charlotte, a young Charlotte, played by India Ria Amarteifio, is called “Ridiculous to the eye” by her brother Adolphus as she sits barely moving in the back of a carriage. Charlotte, displeased, both by her circumstances — being married off to the king of England — and her attire, delivers a terse response that sets the tone for what will come to define her character throughout the series: Her feisty spirit and her fashion sense.
“I am wearing lyonnaise silk encrusted with Indian sapphires working with an overlay of 200-year-old lace,” Charlotte retorts. “Apparently too much movement can cause the sapphires to shred the lace. If that were not enough, the gown sits atop a bespoke underpinning made of whalebone.
“Yes, whalebone, brother,” she adds a moment later as he stares back in astonishment, “The bones of whales. Whales died so I could look like this.

There is nothing “other” about HBO Max’s “The Other Two.”
The acclaimed comedy returned for its third season with two new episodes on May 4, wasting no time in reminding viewers and voters why it should be in the running for Best Comedy Series. The showbiz satire, which was created, written, directed and executive-produced by former “Saturday Night Live” writers Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider, picks up in a post-pandemic world with self-obsessed siblings Cary (Drew Tarver) and Brooke (Heléne Yorke) having found success (or something close to it if you squint) as an actor and a manager, respectively. But although they have escaped the shadow of their younger brother Chase (Case Walker), neither can get out of their own way long enough to make real progress. With excellent supporting performances from Molly Shannon and Josh Segarra (the Mvp of every show he appears in), “The Other Two” is the...

[Spoiler Alert: The below contains spoilers from Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story Season 1.] Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story may be a spinoff of Shondaland’s popular Regency Era series, but the romance at the heart of this show is just as swoon-worthy as any of the pairings from Bridgerton. And while much of Queen Charlotte’s (Golda Rosheuvel) love story plays out in the past between the younger version of her (played by India Amarteifio) and Young King George (Corey Mylchreest), our Bridgerton-era ruler is dealing with trials and tribulations aplenty as she scrambles to secure the royal line by pushing her children to procreate with legitimate partners. When it came to delving into Charlotte’s home life, Rosheuvel tells TV Insider, “It’s so thrilling because in Bridgerton, you only get a little glimpse, and those are the scenes that the fans always talk to me about.” Up until now, viewers had never seen the Queen’s children,...
