The Untold Truth Of Bridgerton

After signing an enormous deal in 2017, Shonda Rhimes has finally released her first project for Netflix with Bridgerton. Adapted from Julia Quinn's novels, Bridgerton is a soapy, steamy, spectacle set in Regency-era London's high society. Here's everything you might not have known about one of 2020's biggest hits. But before we get going, there’s some big time spoilers coming up! So if you haven’t watched Season One yet, just save this video and come back to it later. We’ll be waiting for you. Shonda Rhimes first joined forces with Netflix back in 2017, and clearly, she considered her first move at the service very carefully. As it turns out, Bridgerton was a long time in the making, and the hard work between Rhimes and her longtime protege Chris Van Dusen clearly paid off. According to a feature in Shondaland, the online publication crafted by Rhimes' team, Rhimes herself gave copies of Julia Quinn's best-selling book series to Van Dusen, and the duo was enthralled by Quinn's stories and the world she'd created. Van Dusen was hooked right away, saying, "I've always loved period shows — the sets, the costumes, the rules — they're so rife with conflict. But at the same time, I think they're considered a bit traditional and conservative. With Bridgerton, I wanted to take everything I loved about a period show and turn it into something fresh, topical, and relatable."
