After the latest news we have about Shonda Rhimes and her new project for Netflix entitled Inventing Anna and after the confirmation of the new seasons of Bridgerton, another exciting news arrives. In fact, there will be a spin off dedicated to Queen Charlotte that we had already found in the TV series Bridgerton, with the signing of Shonda Rhimes as screenwriter and producer.
Let’s see below everything there is to know about it.
Bridgerton, the spin off on Queen Charlotte arrives
At the news of the new mini series dedicated to one of the faces of the revelation TV series of the year, fans will surely be mad with joy. Of course, the new project that sees the signature of the talented Shonda Rhimes as a writer and producer is still a rumor in the pipeline. But for sure when it comes out it will be as successful as Bridgerton’s first and subsequent seasons.
As we said, the mini series focuses on the character of Queen Charlotte and in particular, on the origins of this. Hence, we can call it a prequel of the famous TV series. But even if not everyone knows it, the character of Queen Charlotte is not a real subject conceived by the writer Julia Quinn in her novels. On the contrary, it is a posthumous invention, a necessary addition to the fiction that Shonda Rhimes wants to use for her new story.
From Bridgerton to the spin off on the Queen Charlotte: the details
To work together with the talented Shonda Rhimes on the new spin off on the Queen Charlotte, we find the colleagues of all time already present in the TV series on Netflix. Or, Betsy Beers and Tom Verica.
But not only that: at the level of characters, there is already talk of two exceptional collaborations that obviously we have already seen acting in the first season of Bridgerton. The names are the young girls Violet Bridgerton and Lady Danbury, played by Ruth Gemmell and Adjoa Andoh respectively. However, it is not yet known whether these two actresses will continue in the story, interpreting their “old” roles or will be replaced by other performers.
Before Bridgerton, the Queen Charlotte spin-off: the story
Although, as we have just seen, the news of the spin off on the Queen Charlotte is fresh from the press and we already know what it will be about theoretically, it is not yet clear what the plot will be down to the smallest detail.
According to some rumors, the new project will focus on origins of the Queen, on his love life full of intrigues and mysteries, of left and lost, and above all on his rise. This will in particular be the connection with the famous Netflix TV series.
But it’s clear that like Queen Charlotte’s character, her life and story are too fruit of the screenwriter’s imagination, which explicitly intends to depart from Julia Quinn’s novels.
Bridgerton and the posting of the spin off on Queen Charlotte
This posting from the fictionalized reality in Julia Quinn’s books and in a sense from the tv series Bridgerton is certainly wanted by Shonda Rhimes and her collaborators. Why? To create something new and original and to give viewers the opportunity to become passionate about another quality story and in the same style as the previous one.
