This story about “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story” stars India Amarteifio, Corey Mylchreest and Arsema Thomas first appeared in the Drama Series issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown in “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story,” but the actors who star in the show carry the responsibility together.
As the title indicates, “Queen Charlotte” is a spinoff of Netflix’s wildly popular 19th-century period drama created by Shonda Rhimes. The prequel series was under a lot of pressure to follow up the more or less colorblind society established in “Bridgerton” — in addition to living up to the steaminess synonymous with the Regency-era show that’s based on Julia Quinn’s books.
It’s the story of how teenage Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz married King George of England and rose mightily to her royal position. She is played by India Amarteifio, alongside Corey Mylchreest as George...

Sam Clemmett is known for his performances in theater more than in TV and film. His most recent on-screen appearance saw him as the young Brimsley in the acclaimed series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, adding another remarkable character to his diverse acting portfolio. Beyond the stage and screen, Clemmett’s personal life often intrigues his fans. In June 2022, he announced his engagement to Danarose, his longtime girlfriend, and by October, they were united in matrimony in a whimsical Halloween-themed wedding, complete with eerie costumes. However, there are still intriguing aspects of Sam Clemmett’s life that remain unknown to many.

Like “Bridgerton,” “Queen Charlotte features orchestral covers of modern music, but an original composition by Kris Bowers kicks off the soundtrack during Charlotte and George’s wedding in the first episode.
Bowers co-wrote “A Feeling I’ve Never Been” with Tayla Parx based on the work of Joseph Bologne Chevalier de Saint-Georges, a Creole composer who was one of the first men of color to become known for his compositions, and who also happened to be an excellent fencer (and the subject of the 2022 film “Chevalier.”)
“We looked at a few pieces that inspired us and then came up with this seed of an idea that we then built into this larger piece, and so because we approached it with much more of a songwriting way rather than score, that’s why it belongs with some of those other [soundtrack] songs, but it was part of a larger idea that Alex...

This article contains spoilers for Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.
One of the best parts of Queen Charlotte is the relationship between young Brimsley (Sam Clemmett) and Reynolds (Freddie Dennis). They may struggle to balance their duties to Queen Charlotte (India Amarteifo) and King George (Corey Mylchreest) with their feelings for each other, but they seem happy when we last see them together. During Charlotte and George’s ball celebrating the birth of their first son, Brimsley and Reynolds sneak a dance together in the garden as an orchestral version of “I Will Always Love You” plays in the background. But just as we see them gaze lovingly into each other’s eyes, we are taken back to the Regency Era where an adult Brimsley (Hugh Sachs) dances alone, begging the question: Where is Reynolds?

[Spoiler Alert: The below contains spoilers from Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story Season 1.] Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story may chronicle the beginning of Queen Charlotte’s (India Amarteifio) relationship with King George (Corey Mylchreest), but they weren’t the only couple to watch. In Netflix‘s Bridgerton spinoff, Brimsley (Sam Clemmett) also had a love story of his own. The queen’s footman was tied to the king’s footman, Reynolds (Freddie Dennis). Bound by their commitment to the monarchy but also to each other, Brimsley and Reynolds find themselves in a complicated situation as the king’s health restricts Reynolds from speaking candidly, and Brimsley is in want of answers for his queen. Adding to the drama of their story is a concerning future reveal hinting at Reynolds’ absence, not just from Brimsley’s life but also from the story itself. Below, Clemmett and Dennis weigh in on Brimsley and Reynolds’ romance, respond to the big...

The historical world of "Queen Charlotte" - the first "Bridgerton" spinoff series - is so sumptuous that fans might wish to spend a day there. But the "Queen Charlotte" cast tells us there is one downside to wearing heavy, luxurious costumes on the gorgeous sets: It gets really hot!
"We got one of the hottest summers ever," Sam Clemmett, who plays Young Brimsley, tells Popsugar. One way they beat the heat was by having cooling tents right off set, where they could get a blast of cold air in between takes. Arsema Thomas, who plays young Lady Danbury, says she would have to "take off bits" of her costume when it was "extremely hot," but that the costume department also gave her "arm pit pads" right in her dresses to soak up the sweat. She calls herself a "very sweaty person."

Netflix’s decision to create an entire prequel about “Bridgerton” breakout Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel) may have initially surprised audiences — but the series’ smash-hit success might stir things up as much as its royal protagonist.
In the week since its May 4 premiere, “Queen Charlotte” was watched for 148.28 million hours, becoming the top English-language series on the platform in the U.S. (and entering the top 10 in 91 countries). It scored high with audiences and critics, and the six episodes (including a feature-length finale) were devoured by “Bridgerton” fans around the world, proving the steamy, semi-fictional Regency world to be even more fruitful than expected.
While the initial “Queen Charlotte” announcement surprised many, Netflix made clear from the jump that this was no ordinary spinoff but a top priority, written by “Bridgerton” executive producer Shonda Rhimes. Rhimes’ name is almost inextricable from the televised “Bridgerton” brand, where Chris Van Dusen served as...

“Bridgerton” fans who’ve binge-watched the prequel spin-off “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story” have been wondering about the fate of one of the series’ characters.
One of the series’ subplots involves the royal footmen of King George (Corey Mylchreest) and Queen Charlotte (India Amarteifio), Brimsley (Sam Clemmett) and Reynolds (Freddie Dennis), who are seen in a romantic relationship.
One scene, in fact, finds the men sharing a bath, with Brimsley predicting that Charlotte and George will grow old together, noting that they too could spend a “lifetime” together as the royals’ servants.

Dearest gentle reader: “Queen Charlotte” has been declared a jewel of Netflix’s spring season.
The “Bridgerton” spinoff had a regal first week of streaming, logging 148.28 million hours viewed on Netflix. The streamer announced the viewership numbers via its weekly Top 10 Global English Language TV Show viewership chart, dated May 1-7, which the good Queen unsurprisingly topped at No. 1; the limited series made that ascension with just four days of viewing, after dropping all episodes May 4.
If every viewer who started “Queen Charlotte” finished it during the week, the show would have received roughly 22 million viewers, according to Netflix’s estimates based on the show’s running time. That means the fictionalized King George’s coronation this weekend was likely watched by fewer people compared to that other coronation going on, although it did manage to surpass Charles and Camilla’s UK ratings at the very least.

Netflix's "Queen Charlotte," released by the streamer on May 4, has already won itself a legion of fans. The show follows Queen Charlotte and King George III during the first months of their marriage and also as adults in the "Bridgerton" timeline. The series also sheds a light on Lady Danbury and her family - including what happened to her husband, Lord Danbury - and on Violet Bridgerton as a young girl living with her parents, the Ledgers. Plus, there's Reynolds, the King's secretary, and Brimsley, the Queen's right-hand, who get wrapped up in a covert romance under everyone's noses.
Though most of "Queen Charlotte"'s plotlines conclude by the miniseries' final episode, the question still remains: Will there be a season two? We asked some of the cast.

Here’s how “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Bridgerton” creator Shonda Rhimes thinks about sex scenes: carefully.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly in support of her just-launched Netflix series “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story,” the doyen of steamy TV expounded on her philosophy for writing sexy sequences, telling the outlet she really doesn’t “write them any differently,” no matter if they are for broadcast or streaming TV. “I really don’t. I’m kind of a prude,” she said. “So, what I write into the scenes is what I want the audience to get in terms of the character emotion or the character story that’s playing out. I basically write like, ‘This is how we want them to feel.'”
And she’s found plenty of key assistance along the way, including the use of intimacy coordinators on set, of which Rhimes is a major fan. “I’m...

While the royalty obsessed are awaiting King Charles III’s coronation this weekend, others are binging the Bridgerton-verse’s latest addition worthy of the Society Papers: Queen Charlotte.
The new Shondaland prequel series premiered Thursday on Netflix, exploring the origin story of the fictional Regency-era world of Bridgerton, the New York Times-bestselling romance novel series by Julia Quinn. Long before Lady Whistledown, a young Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (played by India Amarteifio) was forced into marriage with King George (Corey Mylchreest) and ultimately falls in love with her arranged husband. The fictional history takes place in the mid-1700s, and as seen in the trailer, fans will also see young versions of Lady Agatha Danbury (Arsema Thomas) and Brimsley (Sam Clemmett), played by Adjoa Andoh and...

“Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story” is not just a spin-off series of the Netflix hit.
Centering on the titular character as portrayed by Golda Rosheuvel in the original series, the prequel, which premiered Thursday, extends the frills and romance of the “Bridgerton” universe by taking audiences back to the origins of the epic love story between Queen Charlotte (India Amarteifio) and King George (Corey Mylchreest) and the substantial challenges that threatened their happiness.
While Julia Quinn’s “Bridgerton” novels provided the basis for the highly-successful Netflix TV adaptation, series creator Shonda Rhimes went off book to build on the historical figure Queen Charlotte, whose coronation marks the start of “The Great Experiment,” a societal shift that integrates people of color into the fair-skinned ton. Whereas the background of this societal shift introduces a somewhat adjusted world when Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon (Regé-Jean Page) first met in “Bridgerton’s” first season,...

If you’re a fan, you’re going to love it. And if you are not, you will discover a wonderful fairy tale with an excellent production and a dynamic that, in our very humble opinion, surpasses the original series at the level of treatment.
Netflix has discovered a niche market (that’s its job), and it knows how to take advantage of it. This time it does it with a stylish spin-off, delving in a deeper story, full of humor and with the magnificent India Ria Amarteifio heading the cast and putting all the irony that the character requires.

Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story is a Bridgerton spinoff series that shows us how life was in the Ton during the early days of Queen Charlotte and King George’s marriage. We get to see how they meet and fall in love, how her reign leads to social change in the Ton, and how she became the strong and influential Queen that we see in Bridgerton’s first two seasons. But just because this series introduces us to younger versions of familiar characters doesn’t mean that it’s stuck in the past. Queen Charlotte also features an arc set in the “present day” Regency era of the original series that focuses on Charlotte, Lady Danbury, and Violet Bridgerton’s friendship.
Between both eras, Queen Charlotte has a massive cast full of new and familiar faces. If you want to be as up to date on the hot gossip of the ton as Lady Whistledown,...

For most of its first hour, Netflix’s Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story plays like a step-by-step instruction manual on how to create an irresistible romance, courtesy of creator Shonda Rhimes.
Step one: Introduce a heroine we can’t help but love in Charlotte (India Amarteifio), a 17-year-old princess who spends the ride to her own wedding darkly joking about skewering herself on her undergarments rather than get married off to a man she hasn’t met. Step two: Engineer a meet-cute between our heroine and said man, George III (Corey Mylchreest), and make him so clearly smitten with her that we find ourselves instantly taken with him too. Step three: Have the pair married off in a lavish ceremony, and then sent off into the evening to live out their happily-ever-after.

Witness the birth of the "Bridgerton"-verse, dear reader! While the third season of Netflix and Shondaland's steamy collab has not yet descended on the Ton, the streamer has been hard at work at an equally titillating spin-off. There's been a lot of buzz about "Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story," a prequel series that will explore the early days of the titular queen's rule. Queen Charlotte, as portrayed by Golda Rosheuvel, has already stolen the show a thousand times over in "Bridgerton"; her marriage to King George III (James Fleet) has stirred an equal amount of curiosity. It makes sense that their love story would draw enough interest to merit a spin-off — and with a premiere date finally set in stone, Netflix has finally graced us with a trailer. Check it out below!
