‘Queen Charlotte’ Stars Promise ‘More Intimate Scenes’ in ‘Bridgerton’ Spinoff
variety.comElla Kemp Guest Contributor The cast and crew of “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story” have promised an “intimate story” in the prequel series to Shonda Rhimes’ Netflix hit.
At a global fan event at Claridge’s in London, host Gena Mour-Barrett welcomed showrunner, writer and executive producer Rhimes over Zoom, with cast members Golda Rosheuvel, Adjoa Andoh and Ruth Gemmell attending in person to discuss their characters in the new series, first introduced in the flagship Netflix show launched in 2020.
Also in attendance were the three main cast members new to the “Bridgerton” universe: India Amarteifio as young Queen Charlotte (with Rosheuvel reprising her role as the Queen in adulthood), Arsema Thomas as young Lady Danbury (her older counterpart played by Andoh) and with Corey Mylchreest joining the cast as young King George III.
Rhimes explained that the impetus for the show was to delve into “how the ‘Bridgerton’ world came to be” and to tell a “romantic” story focusing on “women of a certain age” through the characters of Queen Charlotte, Lady Danbury and Gemell’s character Violet, Dowager Viscountess Bridgerton.
