Shonda Rhimes looks like King Midas, because everything she touches turns to gold. After successes like Bridgerton and “Queen Charlotte”the television production company plans to continue expanding the universe created by Julia Quinn in subsequent Netflix series.
The screenwriter has been the mastermind behind some of the most popular shows of the last few decades such as “Grey’s Anatomy”, “Scandal”, “How to Get Away with Murder” and “Inventing Anna”.
In addition, Rhimes has a habit of squeezing the stories to the maximum (for the benefit or suffering of some). In the case of the Seattle doctors series, he created several spin-offs such as “Private Practice”, which followed Addison Montgomery when he moved to Los Angeles, and “Station 19 ″, which told how Ben Warren left medicine behind. to become a firefighter.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable to think that something similar will happen with “Bridgerton”, from where you can expand the stories of one of the many characters created by Julia Quinn in her book saga.
THE “BRIDGERTON” SERIES THAT COULD FOLLOW “QUEEN CHARLOTTE”
Shonda Rhimes would be thinking of developing a spin-off about Lady Danbury and Charlotte, two of the characters whose youth stories we were able to learn more about in “Queen Charlotte.” In an interview with IMDbthe producer said that there is still a lot to tell.
“I wasn’t necessarily thinking of this as a Bridgerton spin-off when I started telling the story just because Queen Charlotte is so unique. But I also included the Lady Danbury stories. And you get to meet a young Violet. And I think Violet is fascinating. And there’s a story to tell there”, he explained to the medium.
In the Netflix original series, we meet Lady Danbury as a well-to-do noblewoman who is independent and unafraid to speak her mind. Meanwhile, Violet Bridgerton had a more docile personality and although she is a hopeless romantic, she also seeks to fit in with the norms of English high society.
Although we were able to learn more about his youth, in “Queen Charlotte”, there are decades of separation between 1761 and 1817, the two time lines in which the story takes place.
