The new series is going to be a limited prequel focusing on Queen Charlotte, who is currently played by Golda Rosheuvel on the original show. Written by Shonda Rhimes, it's going to look into Charlotte's life as a young woman, her love affairs and adventures before she married King George III.

"Many viewers had never known the story of Queen Charlotte before Bridgerton brought her to the world, and I'm thrilled this new series will further expand her story and the world of Bridgerton," Bela Bajaria, Netflix's Head of Global TV, told Deadline.

Besides, Charlotte, the series will also explore the lives of Violet Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell) and Lady Danbury (Adjoa Andoh) in their youth before they became the well-established ladies they are in Regency-era London high society.
