What happens

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, Nicola Coughlan, Phoebe Dynevor, Ruth Gemmell, Claudia Jessie, Luke Newton, Rege-Jean Page, Golda Rosheuvel, Luke Thompson, and Polly Walker. 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 Queen Charlotte's fictionalized African heritage within the series. The first season debuted on December 25, 2020. The second season premiered on March 25, 2022. The third season was released in two parts, which premiered on May 16 and June 13, 2024, respectively.

Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, a spin-off series focused on Queen Charlotte, was released in May 2023. Bridgerton has been positively received for its direction, actors' performances, production and set design, winning five Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards, a Make-Up Artists And Hair Stylists Guild Awards, and nominations at the Primetime Emmy Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards, Satellite Awards and NAACP Image Awards. The music score by Kris Bowers earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
