Bridgerton is an American series created by Chris Van Dusen and produced by Shonda Rhimes. It is based on Julia Quinn's novels set in the Regency era. It is Rhimes's first scripted Netflix show.

Bridgerton's first season was released on Netflix on December 25, 2020. [1]

In April 2021, it was announced the series had been renewed for a third and fourth season.[2]

Plot

The Bridgerton siblings – Anthony, Benedict, Colin, Daphne, Eloise, Francesca, Gregory and Hyacinth – navigate the high London society in search of love, surrounded by friends and rivals . Each episode includes narration by Julie Andrews, who voices the anonymous and scandalous newsletter writer known as Lady Whistledown, who has knowledge of all the information in London, drawing everyone's interest, even Queen Charlotte.

Unlike the novel,[3] the show is set in a racially integrated London where people of color are members of the high society of London at that time , some with titles granted by the queen. [4][5][6][7] Van Dusen says the series is not "color-blind" because "that would imply that color and race were never considered, when color and race are part of the show."[8]
