'Bridgerton' Spinoff About Young Violet, Edmund in the Works

Shonda Rhimes and Nicholas Nardini will write and showrun the limited series, which follows the couple before the Bridgerton family begins.

  • On Thursday, Netflix and Shondaland announced an untitled limited series spinoff chronicling the early life of Lady Violet and her romance with Viscount Edmund Bridgerton.
  • The prequel follows the rollout model of Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, drawing from Julia Quinn's novella Violet in Bloom, which explores the matriarch's childhood, romance, and marriage to Edmund.
  • Shonda Rhimes and Nicholas Nardini will serve as showrunners, writers, and executive producers, while longtime creative partner Betsy Beers also executive produces and Tom Verica directs.
  • While Ruth Gemmell portrays the matriarch in the original series, it remains unclear if Connie Jenkins-Greig will reprise her younger role, as Netflix has not announced the cast.
  • Expanding the Bridgerton universe remains a key part of Netflix and Shondaland's relationship; Season 5 of the mothership series is currently in production, marking another major franchise investment.
