Bridgerton is one of Netflix’s biggest franchises, so it made sense that we would eventually see the drama expand into different formats and even spin-offs. The first major spin-off arrives in early May 2023 in the form of a prequel series called Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.

Turning back the clock, this new limited series (consisting of six episodes) tells the origin of Queen Charlotte, played by Golda Rosheuvel in the mothership series. The series turns back the clock and focuses on the rise and love life of a young Queen Charlotte while also telling the stories of young Violet Bridgerton and Lady Danbury.


Mother (2023)

Coming to Netflix: May 12
