Bridgerton’s Next Spinoff Might Finally Be About Violet — Here’s Why Fans Are Convinced

Bridgerton fans have been theorizing for years about which character deserves their own spinoff series — and creators just dropped some major hints that point to one clear favorite: matriarch Violet Bridgerton.

The Franchise’s Spinoff Track Record

So far, Bridgerton has only produced one spinoff — Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story (2023) — which became a massive hit, reaching No. 1 globally and landing in the Top 10 across 91 countries with a stellar 94% Rotten Tomatoes score.

Why Violet Is The Frontrunner

Violet’s storyline with Lady Danbury’s estranged brother, Marcus Anderson — a character who doesn’t exist in Julia Quinn’s novels — gives writers a blank canvas to work with. Showrunner Jess Brownell has openly teased her enthusiasm, revealing during an interview that she’d “so love a young Violet spin-off,” though she noted the final call rests with Shonda Rhimes.

Rhimes herself has all but confirmed it’s under serious consideration, stating that if the franchise pursued another spinoff, Violet would make for a compelling central figure — calling it “a possibility.”

Other Spinoff Ideas Floating Around

Beyond Violet, fans and creators have floated several other directions — an Anthony and Kate story set in India, a Lady Danbury prequel, a Brimsley backstory, and even deeper exploration of Queen Charlotte and King George’s royal family, who had 15 children in real history. Brownell specifically expressed interest in expanding on this royal lineage, hinting a mystery royal family member will get more focus in Season 5.

Prequel and spinoff strategies like this reflect a broader trend across television franchises, where studios increasingly mine beloved side characters to expand universes without overloading the main storyline.
