What do we know about Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story?

by |April 5, 2023

After the popularity of Netflix’s Bridgerton series, and in particular, of Queen Charlotte (played by Golda Roshuevel), fans were delighted that a spin-off series was announced! 

What book is the Queen Charlotte Netflix series based on?

Unlike the Bridgerton series, based on Julia Quinn’s novels, Queen Charlotte is a new story. But readers can rejoice as Julia Quinn and Shonda Rhimes have together penned a powerful and romantic novel inspired by Bridgerton’s Queen Charlotte and King George III’s great love story.

When will the Queen Charlotte Netflix show and book release?

The original series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, created by Shondaland for Netflix releases on May 4, 2023. The novel inspired by the show will release on May 17, 2023 and is available for pre-order now. 


What is Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story about?

Inspired by the Netflix series, the novel covers Queen Charlotte and King George III’s great love story and how it sparked a societal shift. Born a German Princess, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was beautiful, headstrong, and fiercely intelligent. 

Thrust into her new role as a royal, Charlotte must learn to navigate the intricate politics of the court… all the while guarding her heart, because she is falling in love with the King, even as he pushes her away. Above all, she must learn to rule and to understand that she has been given the power to remake society. She must fulfill her destiny… as Queen.


When is Bridgerton Season 3 coming out?

I think everyone who loves Bridgerton is super excited for the next season, especially since it focuses on Penelope and Colin’s love story! Finally. 

We have watched Penelope, AKA Lady Whistledown be tragically in love with Colin Bridgerton since Season 1, and the way he continues to rebuff and humiliate her. It is time for Colin to get a taste of his own medicine (I’d like to see lots of groveling please and thank you), especially as behind-the-scenes photos suggest Penelope is undergoing a major glow-up. 

There is no official release date announced for Season 3 currently, but it is definitely on its way! Filming started in July 2022, and we hope it will be on our screens this year. The good news is that Bridgerton has officially been renewed for a fourth season as well!

While we wait for Bridgerton Season 3, AKA the Colin and Penelope love-fest, you can get your regency romance fix with Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story and all of the amazing Julia Quinn novels.
