“Bridgerton” breakout Phoebe Dynevor has found her next project, starring in Amazon’s upcoming TV series “Exciting Times.”

Based on Irish author Naoise Dolan’s debut novel, “Exciting Times” centers on Ava (Dynevor), an Irish transplant teaching English grammar abroad to wealthy children. She becomes entangled in a love triangle with banker Julian and lawyer Edith.

Dynevor will executive produce alongside Dolan (who will also write the series) and Cooper Raiff, who will also direct. Additional executive producers include Black Bear’s Teddy Schwarzman, Ben Stillman and Michael Heimler. Black Bear’s Clementine Quittner and Sleena Wilson will co-produce.

Dynevor starred in the first season of Shonda Rhimes’ Regency-era drama “Bridgerton” as Daphne Bridgerton, which was based on Julia Quinn’s novel series of the same name.
