bridgerton

Bridgerton is an American alternative history, Regency romance television series created by Chris Van Dusen for Netflix. Based on the book series of the same name by Julia Quinn, it is Shondaland's first scripted show for Netflix. The series stars an ensemble cast, led by Adjoa Andoh, Golda Rosheuvel, Ruth Gemmell, Polly Walker, Luke Thompson, Luke Newton, Nicola Coughlan, and Claudia Jessie.

Narrated by Julie Andrews, it follows the close-knit siblings of the noble and influential Bridgerton family as they navigate the highly competitive social season, where young marriageable members of the ton, consisting of nobility and gentry, are introduced into society. The series is set during the early 19th century, in an alternative London Regency era, in which George III established racial equality and granted aristocratic titles to people of color due to his wife, Queen Charlotte's fictionalized African heritage within the series.
