The Ton is abuzz once again as Netflix will host an exclusive premiere event in South Africa on 16 April 2023 to launch Shondaland’s Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.
The series, written and produced by Shonda Rhimes, is a prequel spin-off about Queen Charlotte – a fan favourite character portrayed by accomplished Guyanese-British actress Golda Rosheuvel. The series features the origin stories of much-beloved characters, including Lady Danbury (a role reprised by Andjoa Andoh). The young Lady Danbury is played by breakout star Arsema Thomas, a thespian with roots in Ethiopia, Nigeria and South Africa.
Rosheuvel and Thomas will be in good company as the high-society Bridgerton-themed event will be attended by Nigerian, Tanzanian, Kenyan and South African personalities, actors, and influencers.
The premiere event in South Africa is part of the global celebrations ushering in the six-part series set to launch on Netflix on 4 May 2023.
