We’ve been trying to find the best way to describe Shonda Rhimes’ first Netflix series, “Bridgerton,” leading up to the Regency-era drama’s premiere on Christmas Day. And now we finally have the words, thanks to star Regé-Jean Page.
“It’s a little bit of Jane Austen meets ‘Gossip Girl’ with maybe ’49 Shades [of Grey’],” the actor, who leads the cast of “Bridgerton” along with Phoebe Dynevor, told TheWrap in a recent interview, which you can view above.
Yeah, we aren’t going to top that very concise logline from Page, who plays the handsome Duke of Hastings on the Netflix drama and is well aware of how scandalous and steamy the period piece gets throughout its first season.
