Shonda Rhimes Explains Why ‘Bridgerton’ Season 3 Took So Long — and Whether ‘Queen Charlotte’ Might Return
'Bridgerton' EPs Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers on why making it takes so long—and why Penelope's story had to move up after the Lady Whistledown reveal.
Rhimes is still planning to adapt all eight “Bridgerton” books, so if the math stays the same, Season 8 of the Netflix show will be premiering in 2034 (if we’re alive). Of course, Rhimes herself wrote the “Queen Charlotte” prequel — which premiered on Netflix in May 2023 — and some of its original storytelling might inform how “Bridgerton” could unfold as well.
