Regal Rivalries: Exploring the Potential Bridgerton Spinoff for Queen Charlotte's Connie Jenkins-Grieg

Summary

Connie Jenkins-Grieg's performance as young Violet Ledger in Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story shines and could pave the way for her own spinoff.

The triumph of Queen Charlotte and the high demand for Bridgerton spin-offs could pave the way for the creation of additional series that focus on other characters. Shonda Rhimes has hinted at the possibility of a spinoff centered on the young Violet after finding herself captivated by her story during the process of writing Queen Charlotte.

Connie Jenkins-Grieg's portrayal of a young Violet Ledger in Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story is so outstanding that she could easily lead her own Bridgerton spinoff. Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story serves as a prequel to Shonda Rhimes' popular Netflix series Bridgerton, delving into the early years of characters like King George III, Lady Agatha Danbury, Brimsley, and of course, Violet Ledger.

While a second season for Queen Charlotte has not been confirmed as it was originally planned as a miniseries, the show's success may pave the way for other Bridgerton spinoffs that highlight different characters. The events in Queen Charlotte might even impact a potential storyline in Bridgerton season 3 involving Violet and Lady Danbury. Praised for its diversity and steamy scenes, both Bridgerton and Queen Charlotte have garnered immense popularity, fueling the demand for more Bridgerton spinoffs. And one character that Rhimes is seriously considering for a potential spinoff is a young Violet.

Connie Jenkins-Grieg Played A Young Violet Bridgerton (Née Ledger)

Connie Jenkins-Grieg takes on the role of a young Violet Bridgerton in Queen Charlotte. Although her part in the show's main cast is relatively small, the series effectively portrays what young Violet was like before her marriage to Edmund and her title as the Dowager Viscountess Bridgerton. Queen Charlotte delves into Violet's relationship with her parents, revealing a complicated dynamic with her mother but a strong and happy bond with her father, who often made hats for her.

In addition, Jenkins-Grieg's performance can be compared to Ruth Gemmell's portrayal of Violet in Bridgerton. Both actresses bring their own interpretation to the character without conflicting with one another. Gemmell skillfully portrays an older Violet as a fiercely protective and loving mother, while Jenkins-Grieg showcases a vibrant, enthusiastic, and energetic teenage version of the character.

Will Young Violet Get Her Own Bridgerton Spinoff?

Queen Charlotte creator Shonda Rhimes has not officially announced any additional Bridgerton spinoffs, but she did express her strong interest in developing a story centered around Violet. In discussing Queen Charlotte, Rhimes explained that she initially embarked on the project out of passion but became fascinated with Violet's story during the writing process. The possibility of a Violet Bridgerton spinoff remains uncertain, but it is hoped that its development will be confirmed in the near future.
