Rhimes signed a deal with Netflix last year in which she would develop projects exclusively for the streaming service, with eight series currently in development, including the Bridgerton series.
Netflix has unveiled the first trailer for the forthcoming Bridgerton, produced by Shonda Rhimes under her massive exclusive first-look deal with Netflix, which reveals a Christmas premiere date for the period drama adaptation.
At the center of it all is the funny, witting and clever Bridgerton family, comprised of eight siblings who must navigate the upper ten-thousands’ marriage mart in search of romance, adventure, and love.
The series, which earned an eight-episode order and is set to debut in 2020, is being adapted by Scandal veteran Chris Van Dusen, who will also showrun the project and executive produce alongside Rhimes and Betsy Beers of Shondaland.
