The teaser trailer arrived along with eight new photos. Netflix also announced the six-episode limited series will premiere on May 4, 2023.
“I want people to feel like this is what happens with real love. Love is hard. Love is difficult. Love has many layers,” said creator, writer, executive producer, and showrunner Shonda Rhimes. “The idea that the happy ending that we always talk about for characters doesn’t have to be the obvious one.”
The cast is led by India Amarteifio as Young Queen Charlotte and Corey Mylchreest as Young King George. Bridgerton stars Golda Rosheuvel, Adjoa Andoh, and Ruth Gemmell reprise their roles as Queen Charlotte, Lady Danbury, and Lady Violet Bridgerton, respectively.
Arsema Thomas plays Young Lady Danbury, Michelle Fairley plays Princess Augusta, Sam Clemmett is Young Brimsley, Freddie Dennis is Reynolds, Richard Cunningham is Lord Bute, Tunji Kasim is Adolphus, Rob Maloney is the Royal Doctor, Cyril Nri is Lord Danbury, and Hugh Sachs is Brimsley (older).
Executive producers include Betsy Beers and director Tom Verica.
