Shonda Rhimes’ first historical period drama

“Bridgerton” is an American period drama set in Regency England during the reign of George IV, roughly 1810 to 1830. Produced by American showrunner Shonda Rhimes, this is the first Netflix drama for Rhimes. It’s the successor to 20 years of fabulously successful TV dramas on other networks including “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Scandal.”

“Bridgerton” is Rhimes’ first historical period drama, set in England. It challenges her intent to always include many actors of color in her productions. Historically, there were very few people of color in positions of power during this historic era. Therefore, Rhymes decided to cast her actors without regard to race. In fact, she took the historical figure of George III’s Queen Charlotte as her example. It has been said that Charlotte was biracial, though this fact has never been confirmed.

Who are our Bridgerton heroes?

Phoebe Dynevor stars as 18-year-old Daphne Bridgerton, the eldest daughter of the Bridgerton family. The series starts with her introduction to Queen Charlotte at Court. Doing so allows her to search for a suitable husband during the social season.

Regé-Jean Page stars as Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings. He has no interest in marrying (nor does he have any financial need to do so). Phoebe and Simon form a friendship in season 1 which is misconstrued by gossips as a romantic attachment. Daphne accepts that Simon is doesn’t want to marry. And Simon, in a gesture of friendship, searches for a man as a suitable match for her.

At the end of every “Bridgerton” episode, there is a voiceover summary by Bridgerton’s narrator. The fictional Lady Whistledown (voiced by Julie Andrews) is always present to report on and broadcast the latest gossip.

Founded by the Romans, the Somerset city was a buzzing social hub for the well-to-do in the 1800s. And it remains a jewel of Regency architecture to this day. If you’re keen to experience a slice of Bridgerton, No.1 Royal Crescent is a must-see stop. Doubling as the home of the Featheringtons, in real life, it is a museum dedicated to the period. Built in the 1760s-1770s, the Royal Crescent’s perfectly-preserved architecture and views of Royal Victoria Park are one of the main backdrops to the series.”
