Shonda Rhimes Points to Violet Bridgerton as Potential Lead for Next Spin-Off

Rhimes says more offshoots are in discussion, with no greenlight or timeline for a Violet series.

Overview

  • On Craig Melvin’s Glass Half Full podcast, Rhimes said there will "definitely" be more projects set in the Bridgerton universe.
  • She singled out Violet Bridgerton, portrayed by Ruth Gemmell, as a compelling focus for a prospective series.
  • Producers note that spinoff ideas are being explored after the success of 2023’s Queen Charlotte, but no new show has been formally announced.
  • Season 4 broadened Violet’s on-screen journey, giving the creative team material they consider rich for further exploration.
  • Author Julia Quinn does not plan to extend Violet’s story beyond her novella Violet in Bloom, while the main series is renewed for Season 5 without a premiere date.
