Shonda Rhimes is throwing a lot of weight behind the new Bridgerton prequel- the Queen Charlotte spinoff.
Netflix has yet to release an official title, but the name “Jewels” has been used in internal documents referring to the show.
This project seems to be dear to Shonda’s heart as she seems to be extremely involved. Shonda Rhimes is one of the writers on the new show and will be executive producing alongside Betsey Beers and Tom Verica.
At Netflix’s TUDUM, Shonda herself will be revealing pictures and an early clip from the show.
Golda Rosheuvel, India Amarteifio, and Adjoa Andoh will also be appearing at the TUDUM event (which has already been taped).
According to the official show synopsis, 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 6 episode series is a spinoff of the wildly popular Bridgerton Series and will feature fan-favorite Queen Charlotte.
Bridgerton will also be featured in the TUDUM line-up and will share information from their Season 3 production.
Netflix has kept the production of “Jewels” under lock and key, and very little information has been shared with the press.
There is currently no information as to when the show will be released.
