Set in the Bridgerton universe, Queen Charlotte is a backstory series for the king, played by Rosheuvel, and tells the story of her past life and rise to power.

Netflix says the series “tells the story of how the young Queen’s marriage to King George sparked both a great love story and societal change, creating the world of clay that was inherited by the characters in Bridgerton.”

Few plot details have been shared so far – although an early trailer revealed Charlotte got off to a bad start when they first met George.

The series is said to feature some familiar Bridgerton shots, including scenes at Syon House.

When is Bridgerton season 3 coming?

Bridgerton has been renewed for a third and fourth season, with Luke Newton’s character Colin Bridgerton taking center stage in season three, based on Julia Quinn’s book Romancing Mister Bridgerton.

Production began in July 2022, but no release date has been confirmed for the new series as of yet.
