Bridgerton is an American historical romance television series created by Chris Van Dusen for Netflix. Based on the book series by Julia Quinn, it is Shondaland's first scripted show for Netflix. The series is set during the early 1800s in an alternative London Regency era, in which George III established racial equality and granted many people of African descent aristocratic titles due to the African heritage of his wife, Queen Charlotte.[a] The viewer is taken to observe the highly competitive social season; where young marriageable nobility and gentry are introduced into society.
The first season debuted on December 25, 2020. The second season premiered on March 25, 2022. The third season was across two parts, which premiered on May 16 and June 13, 2024, respectively.[6] The series was renewed for a fourth season in April 2021.[7][8] The fourth season will be released in August 2026.[9] In May 2023, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, a spin-off series focused on Queen Charlotte, was released.
Bridgerton was positively received for its direction, actors' performances, production and set design, winning two Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards, a Make-Up Artists And Hair Stylists Guild Awards, and nominations at the Primetime Emmy Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards, Satellite Awards and NAACP Image Awards. The music score by Kris Bowers earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media.
