Bridgerton

Overview

In Regency-era London, the marriage market is a battlefield, and no family plays it quite like the Bridgertons. Narrated by the mysterious Lady Whistledown, whose scandal sheets can make or break a reputation overnight, this Shondaland drama follows a different Bridgerton sibling into love each season — from Daphne’s dazzling debut and her arrangement with the Duke of Hastings, to Anthony’s slow-burn romance, Colin and Penelope’s long-awaited story, and Benedict’s turn in the spotlight. With lavish balls, string-quartet covers of pop songs, and a refreshingly modern sensibility beneath the corsets, Bridgerton turned a set of Julia Quinn novels into a global phenomenon. It is pure, addictive escapism, dressed in its finest.
