Trailer To Netflix & Shondaland Drama Series ‘Bridgerton’
Netflix has released the trailer for the forthcoming Bridgerton, produced by Shonda Rhimes and created by Chris Van Dusen (Scandal, Grey's Anatomy). Airing on Dec. 25, it’s the first series from Shondaland at Netflix.
Based on Julia Quinn’s best-selling series of novels, spanning from 2000 to 2013, this smart feminist take on Regency England romance unveils the glittering, wealthy, sexual, painful, funny, and sometimes lonely lives of the women and men in London’s high society marriage mart as told through the eyes of the powerful Bridgerton family.
The series is set in the world of Regency London high society, unveiling a seductive and sumptuous world composed of intricate rules and dramatic power struggles, in which no one is ever on steady ground. At the center of it all is the funny, witting and clever Bridgerton family, comprised of eight siblings who must navigate the upper ten-thousands’ marriage mart in search of romance, adventure, and love.
The cast for the series is set to include Phoebe Dynevor, Regé-Jean Page, Golda Rosheuvel, Jonathan Bailey, Luke Newton, Claudia Jessie, Nicola Coughlan, Ruby Barker, Sabrina Bartlett, Ruth Gemmell, Adjoa Andoh, Polly Walker, Bessie Carter and Harriet Cains and Julie Andrews as the voice of Lady Whistledown.
Chris Van Dusen will also showrun the project and executive produce alongside Rhimes and Betsy Beers of Shondaland.
