There's lot of nudity on "Bridgerton," but star Nicola Coughlan asked Netflix and Shondaland to produce a cut that she could show her parents.

It’s not unusual for “ Bridgerton ” cast members to strip down on screen, with the Netflix series quickly gaining a reputation for its love scenes after its premiere on the streamer in 2020. Coughlan’s comments came during an interview on SiriusXM Hits 1 after the hosts floated the rumor that she asked for a “PG version.” The actor says she even went as far as getting the language regarding an alternate cut, taming down the TV-MA rating, included in her contract. Coughlan went on to describe her mother’s first impression of the series, which establishes a dress code for episodes pretty quickly.
