Although Netflix isn’t exactly the best streaming service at supporting its long-running shows, you have to admit that with Bridgerton they’re really outdoing themselves. Aware that they have a hit on their hands, they’ve not only renewed the series for season 5 (out of 8 novels), but they’ve also just announced that they’re expanding its universe with a new spin-off. After the one they made about Queen Charlotte, it was only a matter of time.
Coffee, pastries, and nobility
This new series still doesn’t have a name, but we know it will star Lady Violet in her youth, and specifically in her romance with Viscount Edmund Bridgerton. The person behind it will be a regular Shonda Rhimes collaborator, Tom Verica, who besides working on Bridgerton has also worked on Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal.
Obviously, seeing the success of Bridgerton, it’s only logical that Netflix would want to capitalize on its success and make as many seasons as possible. In fact, the marketing campaigns are spectacular precisely because they know they’ll pay off: six years after the first season premiered, the public is still asking for more, so this isn’t going to stop until they run out of pages to adapt. And there’s still a long way to go.
Netflix’s future looks super packed with projects, between the U.S. release of The Black Ball and, as always, the next big surprise hit that, as usual, nobody’s ever heard of until it premieres..
