BRIDGERTON FIRST LOOK + DATE ANNOUNCEMENT

The Bridgerton’s are coming to Netflix! If you’re a fan of regency romance novels, then you probably already know this long running book series by Julia Quinn, if not, you’re in for a treat!

Netflix announced today that The Bridgerton’s are coming and the date is a holiday treat for us all. The first season will drop on Netflix this upcoming Christmas Day!

Bridgerton follows Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor), the eldest daughter of the powerful Bridgerton family as she makes her debut onto Regency London’s competitive marriage market. Hoping to follow in her parent’s footsteps and find a match sparked by true love, Daphne’s prospects initially seem to be unrivaled. But as her older brother begins to rule out her potential suitors, the high society scandal sheet written by the mysterious Lady Whistledown (voiced by Julie Andrews) casts aspersions on Daphne. Enter the highly desirable and rebellious Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page), committed bachelor and the catch of the season for the debutantes’ mamas. Despite proclaiming that they want nothing the other has to offer, their attraction is undeniable and sparks fly as they find themselves engaged in an increasing battle of wits while navigating society’s expectations for their future.
