I really loved the fact that we could expand the universe and show people how the ‘Bridgerton’ world that they know came to be,” Shonda Rhimes, executive producer for both ‘Bridgerton’ and ‘Queen Charlotte’, told fans at a teaser trailer reveal event on Tuesday.

“You get to see how stories from the past educate you on the stories in the future… You get the see the growth and who they (‘Bridgerton’ characters) become.”

With two timelines, Golda Rosheuvel reprises her ‘Bridgerton’ role as the monarch in the new series while India Amarteifio, whose past credits include appearances in television shows ‘Sex Education’, ‘Line of Duty’ and ‘Doctor Who’, plays the young Queen Charlotte.

“There’s so much time between our show… and the ‘Bridgerton’ that we’ve all come to know… which for us actors is great because it gives us the liberty of creating our own characters,” Amarteifio said.

“You don’t know their origin story, there’s enough time for them to be completely different people for us to create completely unique characters… I know what she’s like in future but to be able to create the foundations for that was exciting for me.”
