Netflix has unveiled the official title of the Bridgerton spin-off series about Queen Charlotte, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.
The first look clip has also dropped on Netflix’s TUDUM and it looks like King George has his work cut out for him.
In the clip, we see a young Queen Charlotte, come face to face with George, the King of England, for the first time.
Queen Charlotte is trying to scale the walls and escape the castle so that she doesn’t have to marry the King.
However, she is interrupted by the King himself, who asks if he can be of some assistance.
Not realising that she’s speaking to the King, Charlotte exposes her entire to plan to him and asks him to help her escape.
When he asks why she’s trying to escape, Charlotte confesses that she thinks the King is a beast or a troll because no one will speak of him.
Charlotte then asks the King again for help but he refuses, saying: “I have absolutely no intention of helping you.”
He then reveals his true identity when he says: “I refuse when that lady in distress is trying to go over a wall so that she does not have to marry me.”
Charlotte then looks in shock as the title for the new spin-off series appears on the screen.
