Assemble the ton! The long-awaited 'Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story' official trailer is here

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Esteemed members of the Ton, it seems we have a rather special announcement as Netflix's 'Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story' has graced us with its first look and a jaw-dropping trailer. Before we move on to that, 'Grey's Anatomy's Shonda Rhimes is set to helm, write and executively produce the series along with Betsy Beers and Tom Verica. The Netflix period drama series will focus on how the young Queen’s (India Amarteifio) marriage to King George (Corey Mylchreest) sparked both a great love story and a societal shift, creating the world of the Ton inherited by the characters in 'Bridgerton'.

Cast also includes Golda Rosheuvel (Queen Charlotte), Adjoa Andoh (Lady Agatha Danbury), and Ruth Gemmell (Lady Violet Bridgerton) reprising their roles from 'Bridgerton' in this series, along with Michelle Fairley as Princess Augusta, Corey Mylchreest as Young King George and Arsema Thomas as Young Agatha Danbury. Rounding out the cast are Sam Clemmett as Young Brimsley, Freddie Dennis as Reynolds, Richard Cunningham as Lord Bute, Tunji Kasim as Adolphus, Rob Maloney as the Royal Doctor, Cyril Nri as Lord Danbury, and Hugh Sachs as Brimsley (older).

'Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story': Netflix invites fans to a global teaser trailer unveiling event on Valentine's Day

The romance that started it all

The almost three-minute look at the spinoff sees Charlotte trying to run away from the marriage and eventually falling in love with the king, as she gets to know him better. “You are breathtaking,” Mylchreest’s King George tells Charlotte. “You break rules, cause scandal. You’re the most royal person I have ever known.” The series logline reads, “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.” As Lady Whistledown once said, "The ones we love have the power to inflict the greatest scars," and we couldn't agree more at least when it comes to the King and the Queen.

'Queen Charlotte' aims to expand the 'Bridgerton' universe, and it looks set to offer stories we never thought would be present. Here are the first-look photos of the much-awaited series:

Safe to say, fans are excited about the new 'Bridgerton' spin-off. 'Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story' hits Netflix on May 4, 2023.
