Here is what we know so far: Shonda Rhimes will (obviously) write and executive produce the show. It will focus on the rise and love life of the young royal, who is played by Golda Rosheuvel in Bridgerton. And if you thought young Queen Charlotte wasn’t enough, we will also get a peek into young Violet Bridgerton and Lady Danbury. So exciting!
The content platform said in a statement about the series, per Entertainment Weekly:
“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.”
All Hail The Queen!
