Big news for Bridgerton fans. Less than a week after the official wrap of the upcoming Bridgerton Season 4, one star is teasing that there could be more coming from the Bridgerton universe. In 2023, Netflix released the prequel series, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, that followed Queen Charlotte’s arranged marriage to King George III. While it’s been implied in the past that the prequel was meant to be a limited series, that may no longer be the case. When speaking at the Italian Global Series Festival, Bridgerton star Adjoa Andoh didn’t deny a second season for the prequel series when asked, according to Deadline, but didn’t reveal any details either. Instead, Andoh took time to praise the creator of both shows: Shonda Rhimes. “What Shonda Rhimes does rather brilliantly is she says, ‘What if?’. You throw a stone into the pond, and see what ripples come from that.” She goes on to explain that neither show rewrites history. “It amplified a history that already existed.”
While the Ton anxiously awaits the possibility of a Queen Charlotte Season 2, fans are looking ahead to 2026, which is when we can expect Bridgerton Season 4. Adapted from the third Bridgerton book, An Offer From a Gentleman, it will feature Luke Thompson’s Benedict Bridgerton as the leading man. Joining him is Yerin Ha as Sophie Baek in the Cinderella-esque story. It was announced earlier this year that the series is due out sometime in 2026, and when that announcement was made, it was also announced that the series was renewed for Seasons 5 and 6. If the show does not deviate from book order again (flip-flopping books 3 and 4 for the opposite seasons), Season 5 will adapt To Sir Phillip, With Love, and Season 6 will adapt When He Was Wicked. Book five features Eloise Bridgerton as the lead Bridgerton siblin,g and book six features Francesca Bridgerton as the lead. Series author Julia Quinn, already confirmed that things “could always change” again in terms of the series vs. book order. There have already been other editorial updates, changing Michael Stirling (who is opposite Francesca in When He Was Wicked) to Michaela Stirling in the show. Quinn has maintained asking fans for trust and patience with these changes as Shondaland continues to adapt her book series.
Is another royal scandal brewing in the Bridgerton universe? If recent comments from a fan-favorite 62-year-old star are anything to go by, then yes — and fans are eating it up.
There’s no denying it: Netflix’s Bridgerton spin-off, “Queen Charlotte,” took the world by storm. It wasn’t just a period piece. It was an emotional deep dive into a powerful monarch’s youth, love, and loss. So naturally, the moment someone even hints at Season 2, the internet explodes. That’s exactly what just happened — and it all started with a casual comment from one of the franchise’s most beloved stars.
Let’s break it all down, shall we?
Who Is the 62-Year-Old Star in Question?
Meet the Queen Behind the Curtain — Golda Rosheuvel
The actress stirring the pot? Golda Rosheuvel, aka Queen Charlotte herself. At 62, she’s as regal off-screen as she is on-screen. Her portrayal of the sharp-tongued, high-haired monarch won hearts and ruled timelines.
During a recent red carpet appearance, she dropped a few well-chosen words that fans believe might confirm what we’ve all been hoping for: Season 2 of “Queen Charlotte” is on the horizon.
What Exactly Did She Say?
A Not-So-Subtle Hint?
Rosheuvel was asked if her character’s story was truly finished. With a knowing smile, she replied, “Let’s just say… the crown never truly rests.”
That’s all it took.
Cue the fan theories, Reddit threads, and viral TikToks breaking down every syllable. Was she teasing? Was it a PR-approved misdirection? Or was she softly confirming the Queen’s return?
Social Media Reactions: #QueenCharlotteSeason2 Trends
The Internet Did What It Does Best
Within hours, the hashtag #QueenCharlotteSeason2 began trending. Fans speculated wildly, with posts like:
“Golda KNOWS something. That grin? It’s giving confirmation.”
“Don’t play with me like this, Golda. Drop the trailer already.”
“I refuse to live in a world without another season of Queen Charlotte.”
Why a Season 2 Makes Perfect Sense
Queen Charlotte’s Story Isn’t Over
Season 1 of Queen Charlotte gave us her backstory — but there’s still so much left unexplored. Her rise to absolute power, her struggles with her children, and the continued unraveling of her marriage with King George… there’s more drama begging to be told.
And let’s be honest — we all want to see more scandal, more tears, and more wigs.
The Bridgerton Universe Is Built for Expansion
Shonda Rhimes Knows What She’s Doing
Shonda Rhimes has created a lush, ever-expanding world with Bridgerton. Every supporting character has the potential to headline their own show. Queen Charlotte proved that spin-offs can work — and thrive — in this universe.
A second season? It’s not just possible. It’s smart business.
When Could Season 2 Drop?
A Realistic Timeline for Release
Let’s play the prediction game. If production starts by late 2025, we could expect Queen Charlotte Season 2 to hit Netflix in mid-to-late 2026.
Given the massive success of the first season, there’s no reason Netflix would delay greenlighting a follow-up. All signs point to movement behind the scenes.
Who Might Return for Season 2?
Cast Members Likely to Reappear
Golda Rosheuvel is a must, obviously. But fans are also holding out hope for:
-
India Amarteifio (Young Charlotte)
-
Corey Mylchreest (Young King George)
-
Arsema Thomas (Young Lady Danbury)
-
Michelle Fairley (Princess Augusta)
Their chemistry, their performances — they carried Season 1. Season 2 without them would feel like
What Could Season 2 Be About?
Exploring Power, Legacy, and Heartbreak
If Season 1 was about Charlotte’s arrival into power and passion, Season 2 could focus on the crown’s weight. Think:
-
The cracks in the royal family
-
Her children’s scandals
-
Mental health stigmas in the royal household
-
A young Victoria’s upbringing
The possibilities? Endless — and deliciously dramatic.
Behind the Scenes Buzz
Is Production Already Underway?
There’s no official word yet, but some crew members from Bridgerton were spotted scouting filming locations that look suspiciously 18th-century. Coincidence? Maybe. But with Golda’s recent comments, fans are connecting dots left and right.
What Makes Queen Charlotte So Beloved?
A Fierce Yet Vulnerable Monarch
She’s bold. She’s flawed. She’s human. Queen Charlotte isn’t just a figurehead — she’s a force. She loves deeply. She hurts quietly. And she handles scandal like a pro.
Rosheuvel’s layered performance brought all of that to life.

The Iconic Aesthetic We Crave
A new season would mean a return of:
-
Sky-high wigs
-
Baroque gowns
-
Sharp-tongued retorts
-
Courtyard whispers and fan-fluttering secrets
Let’s be real — nobody rocks a 12-pound powdered wig like Queen Charlotte.
The Power of Subtle Marketing Hints
Netflix Loves a Strategic Tease
This wouldn’t be the first time a Netflix actor casually teases a secret project before the big reveal. If Golda’s statement was planned, it’s brilliant PR. Build hype now. Drop a teaser months later. Let the buzz do the rest.
