Netflix's Regency Drama 'Bridgerton' Looks Lush, Romantic and Great
Period drama fans look as though they'll be getting a pretty incredible gift this holiday season.
Streaming giant Netflix released its first look at upcoming period drama Bridgerton, a Regency-era drama that celebrates friendship, family, and romance. Based on a popular series of novels by author Julia Quinn, the show sounds like pretty much exactly the sort of colorful, fluffy, swoony fun we need to close out this dreadful year.
It appears as though Bridgerton's first season will be largely based on Quinn's first novel in the series, The Duke and I, and will follow the story of Daphne Bridgerton as she gets ready to make her debut into London's "competitive marriage market." However, when the path to true love turns out to be a bit rockier than she once hoped and suitors become few and far between, she'll begin a fake courtship with Simon, the rebellious Duke of Hastings. But, as anyone who's ever read a romance novel has surely already guessed, things get tricky when their fake relationship suddenly starts to feel very much like a real one.
