Yahoo Lifestyle "Queen Charlotte" Just Hit Netflix And People Are Already Saying It's Better Than "Bridgerton" — Well, I Know What I'll Be Watching This Weekend
Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story recently hit Netflix and the highly anticipated prequel spinoff is already creating a lot of buzz online.
Bridgerton's latest installment focuses on young Queen Charlotte's rise to power and is told through dual timelines. The first one is set in 1817 — following the death of Princess Charlotte, the queen feels pressured to get her children to produce another royal heir.
And the second perspective is based in 1761 — young Charlotte meets and marries King George, and their marriage, as well as his mental health, are explored.
The series stars India Ria Amarteifio as young Queen Charlotte, while Golda Rosheuvel reprises her Bridgerton role of adult Queen Charlotte.
Corey Mylchreest stars alongside India as King George.
But these weren't the only new faces and storylines fans were loving. From Arsema Thomas playing a young Lady Agatha Danbury...
...to the swoon-worthy dialogue, it seems like Queen Charlotte is a hit! Some are even saying it's better than the original.
Here's what people on Twitter are saying:

Some wives are literally the backbones and strategists of their husbands. They do a lot of background unglamorous jobs via their shrewdness and negotiating skills which bring glamour to their men.Lady Agatha Danbury in #QueenCharlotte embodied this.

No, because you don't understand. No one was supposed to top Anthony and Kate's chemistry in my head. "Just" George and "I'm gonna climb this wall" Charlotte are working overtime and I'm MELTING!!! It's literally episode 1. Let me BREATHE! #QueenCharlotte pic.twitter.com/OMHXW7Td4n

I made it through four episodes of #QueenCharlotte last night (after vowing to only watch one), and I am in my FEELS! ❤️🥰 I'm looking forward to the last two episodes! #Bridgerton @bridgerton

I want Netflix to give Shonda an unlimited budget where it concerns Bridgerton. Let her work her magic for this series because the way she BODIED Queen Charlotte is wild. Six episodes full of greatness with each passing minute. Give her the room please!
