On 3rd September the director Tom Verica announced on social media about the series wrapped and let the world know that Queen Charlotte is coming to take on our screens soon.
What to expect from the show?
The upcoming series about Queen Charlotte, wife of King George III, will focus on her life as a young woman through the challenges she faced leading up to and during her marriage.
In the first season of Bridgerton, audiences saw glimpses of Queen Victoria: an intimidating judge for the debutantes and a protective wife whose husband’s mental illness is beginning to show.
It’s expected that this series will explore a romanticized retelling of the true-life story as well as include historical details from Queen Charlotte’s early life.
The queen’s life is the centre of attention in Queen Charlotte, but other characters will also have their own unique storylines.
In fact, Violet Bridgerton and Lady Danbury from the prequel will both receive focus—as well as returning original character Queen Charlotte. The series will walk us through the younger versions of these characters.
