*“Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story” premiered May 4 on Netflix and quickly became the No. 1 English-language show for the week of May 1 to 7.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the six-episode “Bridgerton” prequel has been watched for 148.2 million hours on the streaming platform. In 91 countries, the series reached the top 10 and ranked first in 76 of them.
“Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story” hails from creator and executive producer Shonda Rhimes. Per Urban Hollywood 411, the official description reads: “Centered on Queen Charlotte’s rise to prominence and power, this Bridgerton-verse prequel tells the story of how the young Queen’s marriage to King George sparked both a great love story and a societal shift, creating the world of the Ton inherited by the characters in Bridgerton.”
The series stars India Amarteifio as Young Queen Charlotte and Corey Mylchreest plays Young King George.
Rhimes recently spoke about a possible second season of “Queen Charlotte” during an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
“There have been questions, but I’m not having conversations about it yet,” Rhimes said about the limited series. “I could live with Charlotte and George forever, but we told a very specific, closed-ended story that I think is a complete tale of this complicated, imperfect love. But I’m not ruling anything out because I never know.”
Amarteifio told EW that she would love to play young Queen Charlotte in another season.
“I have loved this character,” Amarteifio said. “She’s fantastic. I feel very lucky to be able to portray someone who’s so complex. I would absolutely love to do something in the realm again.”
Arsema Thomas said she is “obsessed” with her character, young Agatha Danbury, and would love to reprise the role.
“I am obsessed with this character,” Thomas told EW. “I never thought I could love like this until I had my own child. I feel like I gave birth, and Shonda Rhimes is her daddy. I am the mommy. It would be amazing to inhabit that space again. But also where we’ve left her off now, she’s a good space. If that’s the last time I get to be her, she’s empowered and she’s ready to walk on her own two feet. But if I do get a call for doing it again, I will take it.”
