Bow Down--Netflix's 'Bridgerton' Spinoff Has Found Its Young Queen Charlotte and King George
The Shonda Rhimes-led spinoff series will follow the origin stories of Queen Charlotte, Violet Bridgerton, and Lady Danbury.
Crack open the snuff and fluff up your wigs: Netflix has found its young Queen Charlotte for the upcoming Bridgerton prequel series.
British actress India Amarteifio—known for her TV roles in Line of Duty, The Tunnel, Doctor Who, and Sex Education—has been chosen to play the young version of Golda Rosheuvel’s formidable ruler. (That’s right, the Sex Education to Bridgerton pipeline continues after Simone Ashley’s turn as Kate Sharma in Season 2.)
Rosheuvel will appear in the series alongside fellow Bridgerton stars Adjoa Andoh (Lady Agatha Danbury) and Ruth Gemmell (Lady Violet Bridgerton). Lady Danbury, the town’s best matchmaker, will also be featured in her younger years, played by Arsema Thomas.
The prequel series has yet to be titled, but it’s essentially Queen Charlotte’s origin story, with (hopefully) sex and romance galore. Wonder why the queen is so tired of all the scandal with Lady Whistledown, especially when it comes to criticism over her leadership? This spinoff will shine a light on the uptight royal’s crucial courting with King George. After sparking controversy as an unlikely couple, the pair create a societal shift responsible for the Ton we see in Bridgerton’s first two seasons.
