'Bridgerton' Spinoff, Centered on Lady Violet, Ordered by Netflix
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Alert the ton: There's about to be another "Bridgerton" series.
Netflix and Shondaland announced Thursday that the streamer has
ordered a new limited series spinoff in the "Bridgerton" universe,
this time focused on a young Lady Violet.

The series doesn't have a name yet, and is being referred to right
now as the "untitled Bridgerton project." But Netflix said the
rollout will be similar to previous "Bridgerton" spinoff "Queen
Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story," so it would seemingly make sense
for it to eventually be called "Lady Violet: A Bridgerton Story"
- but that's TBD.

Shonda Rhimes and Nicholas Nardini, who was a producer on "Queen
Charlotte" and a writer on Rhimes' hit ABC series "Scandal," will
serve as showrunners, writers and executive producers on the new
show.

Frequent Rhimes collaborator Tom Verica, whose credits include
"Bridgerton" and "Queen Charlotte," as well as "Grey's Anatomy" and
"Scandal," is set to serve as director/executive producer. And
longtime Shondaland creative partner Betsy Beers is executive
producer as well.

Here's the brief logline: "Similar to the massive global hit 'Queen
Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story,' the series will chronicle the early
life of a young Lady Violet and tell the story of her romance with
Viscount Edmund Bridgerton."

In the original "Bridgerton," Lady Violet Bridgerton is played by
English actress Ruth Gemmell. In "Queen Charlotte," a teenage
Violet Ledger is played by Connie Jenkins-Greig.

It's unclear whether Jenkins-Greig will reprise her role for the
new "Bridgerton" spinoff, or if any of the other stars of "Queen
Charlotte" or "Bridgerton" will appear in the new spinoff.

Season 5 of "Bridgerton" is currently in production in London, with
the focus on Francesca Bridgerton (Hannah Dodd) and Michaela
Stirling (Masali Baduza). The series continued to be a hit in
Season 4, premiering at No. 1 on Netflix's Global English TV list,
while "Queen Charlotte," which ran for six episodes in 2023,
debuted at No. 1 in 91 countries.
