Irish actress Nicola Coughlan, widely recognised for her portrayal of Penelope Featherington in the popular Netflix series "Bridgerton", has successfully raised more than £1.5 million (USD 1.9 million) to support aid initiatives in Gaza over the last seven months.
The web content arena has recently witnessed a surge in the popularity of period pieces, transporting audiences to bygone eras filled with opulent costumes, grand estates, and intricate social codes. This trend has been significantly amplified by the recent success of Netflix’s "Bridgerton", a lavish reimagining of England during its Regency era. These period dramas offer a form of escapism, allowing viewers to temporarily step away from the complexities of modern life and immerse themselves in a world governed by dissimilarly archaic rules and norms. The luxurious settings, extravagant costumes, and often dramatic storylines provide a visual feast, transporting viewers to a time perceived as simpler, albeit not without its own set of stumbling blocks.
"Bridgerton" recently waltzed right back onto our screens for its third season — this time centring on the love story between Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton. In this season, Penelope, secretly the gossip columnist Lady Whistledown, grapples with revealing her true identity while on a mission to find herself a suitable spouse. Colin, on the other hand, returns from his travels with newfound confidence.
"Bridgerton" has not only increased its viewership on Netflix but has also significantly contributed to the UK economy. According to Netflix, the franchise created by Shonda Rhimes, including Seasons 1-3 and the spinoff "Queen Charlotte", has generated more than £250 million for the economy since its premiere in December 2020, supporting nearly 5,000 local businesses.
When Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton were preparing to film Season 3 of the regency-era romance series “Bridgerton”, they knew they were going from supporting characters to main characters. And it was scary.
Originally, the series was aired on May 4, the spinoff prequel series has scored 148.28 million hours of streaming in the last four days since its release.
the show steadfastly remains a fantasy that only pulls from history occasionally while trying to balance various storylines.
The six-episode series follows two seasons of Regency-era "Bridgerton", which became a global phenomenon when it was released in 2020 and won praise for its diverse cast.
When it comes to casting, direction, design, and other varying aspects of production, the author being at the heart of it all can be a huge asset, assisting in the transformation of their ideas and offering tidbits of inspiration or knowledge that may otherwise be missing.
