After a long wait, we’re finally heading back to the world of Bridgerton with the new spin-off focusing on Queen Charlotte.

Per Netflix, here’s the official logline for the new series that will consist of 6 episodes:

“Centered on Queen Charlotte’s rise to prominence and power, this Bridgerton-verse prequel tells the story of how the young Queen’s marriage to King George sparked both a great love story and a societal shift, creating the world of the Ton inherited by the characters in Bridgerton.”

Grossing over $100 million at the box office was this American remake of the 2015 Swedish movie that sees Tom Hanks play the role of Otto Anderson, a 63-year-old widower who lives in suburban Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
