Ahead Of Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story Release, Internet Calls The Franchise 'Comforting'
In the first two seasons of the series Bridgerton, Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel), who was strong and unyielding, presided over her subjects and occasionally meddled in their love affairs. In the limited series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Tale, producer and showrunner Shonda Rhimes emphasised the Queen's earlier life and her love affair with King George. Viewers are taken through their first encounter, their romance as they come to know one another.
The younger version of Charlotte, played by newcomer India Amarteifio, is concerned about being used as a pawn in an arranged marriage to the King as the caravan opens (Corey Mylchreest). Sparks flare when the young couple finally meets, and Charlotte adjusts to life at Buckingham Palace despite her overbearing mother-in-law Princess Augusta (Michelle Fairely).
Reacting to the trailer, one wrote, ¡°I don't think anyone understands how comforting the Bridgerton series has been. It's not about the sex it's about the chemistry between characters, the artistry of the show, the inclusivity of the show. I LIVE.¡±
A second added, ¡°I know this is obviously fictionalised, but I¡¯ve always found this couples love story touching. The Real George III called his wife ¡®the Queen of my heart.¡±
A third added, ¡°Bridgerton is one of those bingeable shows with many such doses. This lavish period drama inspires teas and duvets and speaking with outrageously posh syntaxes. I'm excited for this Spinoff.¡±
The young queen's advisors are also depicted in the series. Young Lady Agatha Danbury (Arsema Thomas), her royal aide, and Young Brimsley (Sam Clemmett) are all members of Charlotte's court. Agatha, like Charlotte, was coerced into an arranged marriage.
Along with Golda's return as an older Queen Charlotte, Adjoa Andoh plays an older Lady Agatha Danbury, Ruth Gemmell plays Lady Violet Bridgerton, and Hugh Sachs plays an older Brimsley in the prequel series. Several well-known characters from Bridgerton also make an appearance. The cast also includes Cyril Nri, Freddie Dennis, Richard Cunningham, Tunji Kasim, Rob Maloney, and Tunji Kasim.
On May 4, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story will debut on Netflix. Although Bridgerton's third season was also completed earlier this month, it is unknown if it will air later this year. The third brother Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan), also known as Lady Whistledown, will be the main characters of the upcoming season.
