First Look at Young Lady Danbury: Finally, we have had our first look at Young Lady Danbury, played by Arsema Thomas in the upcoming Netflix limited series, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story:

Under the thumb of a much older husband, Agatha uses Charlotte’s arrival to find her own way into society,” Netflix shared. “With keen knowledge of the once divided social scene and the intricacies of marriage, Agatha becomes a guiding light for the new Queen, all while finding her own voice and power we’ll soon recognize as Bridgerton’s iconic Lady Danbury.

JQ is particularly excited about this series, because she and Shonda have co-written a novel based on the show! It’s not yet available for pre-order, but we promise we’ll let you know when it is!
