The TV adaptation of Julia Quinn’s bestselling series of romance novels Bridgerton has rounded out its cast.
Created by Chris Van Dusen and co-produced by Netflix and Shondaland the eight-episode, hourlong drama of the same name is set in the world of Regency London high society. From the glittering ballrooms of Mayfair to the aristocratic palaces of Park Lane and beyond, the series unveils a seductive, sumptuous world replete with intricate rules and dramatic power struggles, where no one is truly ever on steady ground.
