While the royalty obsessed stayed awake to watch King Charles III’s coronation, others are binging the Bridgerton-verse’s latest addition worthy of the Society Papers: Queen Charlotte.
The new Shondaland prequel series premiered Thursday, May 4, on Netflix, exploring the origin story of the fictional Regency-era world of Bridgerton, the New York Times-bestselling romance novel series by Julia Quinn. Long before Lady Whistledown, a young Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (played by India Amarteifio) was forced into marriage with King George (Corey Mylchreest) and ultimately falls in love with her arranged husband. The fictional history takes place in the mid-1700s, and as seen in the trailer, fans will also see young versions of Lady Agatha Danbury (Arsema Thomas) and Brimsley (Sam Clemmett), played by Adjoa Andoh and Hugh Sachs in the “modern-day” series.
