THE BRIDGERTON UNIVERSE is getting another spinoff, this time about Lady Violet.<\/p>\n

The mother of the main series\u2019 protagonists, she\u2019s played a key role in the plot, but her own story has scarcely been told.<\/p>\n

The new series, which is still untitled, will follow Lady Violet\u2019s life before marriage and children, and show her romance with Viscount Edmund Bridgerton.<\/p>\n

She will be played by 22-year-old English actress Connie Jenkins-Greig, who reprises her role from Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, an earlier spinoff.<\/p>\n

Bridgerton had four seasons so far, and has been greenlit for two more. It continues to be one of the most popular shows on Netflix.<\/p>\n

The Bridgerton universe was created by Chris Van Dusen and Shonda Rhimes\u2019 production company Shondaland.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s based on a series of eight novels by Julia Quinn, each of which centres a particular member of the family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"THE BRIDGERTON UNIVERSE is getting another spinoff, this time about Lady Violet.
