More BRIDGERTON! Go behind the scenes with the Official Bridgerton Podcast! Episode 1 published last week, Episode 2 just dropped. Several more episodes are planned — all about season 1 of the hit show, based on The Duke and I.
In Episode 1, “Locating Bridgerton,” showrunner Chris Van Dusen describes wanting to create, “the most gorgeous, rich aspirational English garden anybody’s ever seen.”
Episode 2, “The Reason for the Season,” explores the marriage market. FUN! Featuring cast and crew — and JQ herself, thankyouverymuch — the Official Bridgerton Podcast talks about how the show was created, discusses the storyline, music, the costumes and sets, the historical context of the era and so much more! JQ couldn’t be more excited about it.
As reported in Deadline, Simone Ashley has been tapped to play Kate Sharma (Kate Sheffield in the books), the female lead opposite Jonathan Bailey’s Anthony Bridgerton in season two of Bridgerton.
Newly arrived in London, Kate is a smart, headstrong young woman who suffers no fools — Anthony Bridgerton very much included. Their love story is chronicled in the second book of the Bridgerton series, The Viscount Who Loved Me.
Julia Quinn will be making an appearance on the 3rd Hour of Today, recommending five of her favorite reads! Tune in to see which books are behind the hearts…
Don’t miss it: Thursday, February 11.
Also, don’t forget: If you’re still trying to get your hands on paper copies of JQ’s books, we recommend ordering from her hometown bookstore: University Book Store. They get regular shipments of all her titles, and bonus: all books come autographed!
Please note that while autographed copies will be available through University Book Store, they are not yet taking orders. But don’t worry, we’ll let everyone know as soon as it’s possible to reserve your autographed copy.
It’s thrilling! So many new-to-JQ readers put three books: The Duke and I, The Viscount Who Loved Me, and Romancing Mister Bridgerton on the New York Times bestseller list — with The Duke and I holding the top slot for three weeks running! And ten — TEN! — titles on the USA Today list. That’s an exciting lot of new Bridgerton readers. How long until they discover the prequels? The romance of Violet & Edmund’s generation await readers with the Rokesbys…
It’s fun! With all the Bridgerton love going around, JQ is on Cloud Nine!
First Comes Scandal, a Bridgerton prequel in which Anthony and Benedict Bridgerton appear as spirited little boys, and readers are treated to Violet and Edmund as young parents, was named one of Amazon’s top books for 2020! It was even featured on a massive billboard near New York’s Penn Station.
New from JQ: her Inside the Story for First Comes Scandal is brand new on JuliaQuinn.com. Find out more about baby Colin (who steals much limelight), about Cat-Head (who causes much mayhem), and about the medical school Nicholas attends (which has a history JQ loved diving into).
Finally, if you’ve been trying to get your hands on paper versions of JQ’s books, rest assured, her publisher is printing them as fast as they can. JQ recommends ordering from University Book Store in Seattle. They’ll be autographed (and personalized, if you want!), and because UBS is JQ’s official bookstore, they have priority and will get more copies as soon as they’re available.
Have you seen the BRIDGERTON official trailer? It dropped last week, and in the first 24 hours alone it was viewed 3.3 million times. Are you ready for the premiere? On December 25, worldwide, everyone can start watching!
Presenting “A Strange Fascination” — an original vignette from Julia Quinn! Here’s the scoop: In January 2014, JQ wrote a 2000-word story for the Scottish magazine My Weekly. Very few readers outside of Scotland ever saw it, though, so it’s been dusted off and included as a freebie with Stefanie Sloane‘s Costswolds Christmas novella “Under the Mistletoe.”
On the new cover of The Duke and I: Daphne Bridgerton and the Duke of Hastings as you’ll see them when BRIDGERTON premieres on Netflix on December 25. This new edition will be available in both trade paperback and the new mass market MAX size and will be start shipping on December 1. JQ loves this shot of actors Phoebe Dyvenor and Regé-Jean Page, and hopes you do, too!
