Take a look at young Lady Agatha Danbury from the upcoming Bridgerton prequel series, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.
The upcoming Bridgerton spin-off series will be a limited series and a prequel and will travel back in time and show fans how Queen Charlotte became such an iconic character.

The first look from Netflix can be found below.
Young Lady Agatha Danbury will be played by Arsema Thomas and young Queen Charlotte by India Amarteifio (Line of Duty). The cast includes Golda Rosheuvel (Queen Charlotte), Adjoa Andoh (Lady Danbury), and Ruth Gemmell (Lady Violet Bridgerton).

”Many viewers had never known the story of Queen Charlotte before Bridgerton brought her to the world, and I’m thrilled this new series will further expand her story and the world of Bridgerton.” Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s Head of Global TV, has said. Shonda Rhimes will serve as main writer on the limited series.
Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story will launch sometime in 2023.
Bridgerton Season 3 & Rumors
Bridgerton was renewed for seasons 3 and 4 in April 2021, following its record-breaking ratings. The second season of Bridgerton, one of the most-watched Netflix series, was released last March. Now, the eyes of the fans are on the third season of the series and the high society of 19th-century London. Bridgerton season 3 will focus on the romance between Penelope (Lady Whistledown) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton).
Netflix released this news in a letter from Lady Whistledown herself:
”Dear members, looks like we have a special announcement. Bridgerton will return for the third and fourth seasons. This writer will need to buy more inks…”
It’s been claimed that Bridgerton season 3 filming was delayed because Shonda Rhimes was not ‘happy’ with the story’s direction amid a “very dark” sex plotline. One source told The Mail on Sunday: “Filming has been delayed due to the screenwriter not being happy with the direction of it.” However, those reports have been disputed.
There is no confirmation on the release date of Bridgerton season 3.
