Netflix has released the proper look at young Lady Agatha Danbury in the streamer’s upcoming “Bridgerton” prequel series, “Queen Charlotte.”
Played by Arsema Thomas, Agatha uses Charlotte’s ascent to the throne to forge her way into society once under the thumb of a much older husband. Strapped with a spirited understanding of the once-divided social scene and the intricacies of marriage, Agatha becomes a guiding light for the new Queen, all while finding her own voice and power.
“Centered on Queen Charlotte’s rise to prominence and worthy, this Bridgerton-verse prequel tells the story of how the young Queen’s marriage to King George sparked both a gigantic love story and a societal shift, creating the biosphere of the Ton inherited by the characters in Bridgerton,” reads the diminutive series’ logline.
Golda Rosheuvel, Adjoa Andoh and Ruth Gemmell will reprise their roles from “Bridgerton” as Queen Charlotte, Lady Agatha Danbury and Lady Violet Bridgerton, respectively. India Amarteifio (“Line of Duty”) stars as young Queen Charlotte. Michelle Fairley (“Gangs of London”) plays Princess Augusta, once Corey Mylchreest (“The Sandman”) plays young King George. Sam Clemmett (“Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” – West End and Broadway, “The War Below”) rounds out the cast as young Brimsley behind with Freddie Dennis (“The Nevers”) as Reynolds, Richard Cunningham (“The Witcher”) as Lord Bute, Tunji Kasim (“Nancy Drew”) as Adolphus, Rob Maloney (“Casualty”) as the Royal Doctor, Cyril Nri (“Cucumber”) as Lord Danbury and “Bridgerton” alum Hugh Sachs as Brimsley.
Shonda Rhimes serves as showrunner, writer and executive producer. Director Tom Verica also decision-making produces alongside Betsy Beers.
