Everyone is invited to the royal event of the year — not that one!
The first trailer (above) for Netflix’s Bridgerton prequel spinoff Queen Charlotte just dropped teasing that drama, love, and frustration lie ahead. All six episodes will be released on May 4.
From Shonda Rhimes, the series follows Queen Charlotte’s rise to prominence and power. It will focus on how the young Queen’s (India Amarteifio) marriage to King George (Corey Mylchreest) sparked both a great love story and a societal shift, creating the world of the Ton inherited by the characters in Bridgerton.
Cast also includes Golda Rosheuvel (Queen Charlotte), Adjoa Andoh (Lady Agatha Danbury), and Ruth Gemmell (Lady Violet Bridgerton) reprising their roles from Bridgerton in this series, along with Michelle Fairley as Princess Augusta, Corey Mylchreest as Young King George and Arsema Thomas as Young Agatha Danbury. Rounding out the cast are Sam Clemmett as Young Brimsley, Freddie Dennis as Reynolds, Richard Cunningham as Lord Bute, Tunji Kasim as Adolphus, Rob Maloney as the Royal Doctor, Cyril Nri as Lord Danbury, and Hugh Sachs as Brimsley (older).
