Description
xThe stunning, full-color, behind-the-scenes look at Shondaland's hit series on Netflix. Inside Bridgerton is the intimate behind-the-scenes story of the hit Shondaland series on Netflix. Shondaland executive producers Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers offer exclusive insights, and introduce you to the series writers, producers, directors, cast, crew, and talented creatives who brought Julia Quinn's beloved novels to the screen. Full-color and beautifully designed, Inside Bridgerton is the official book about the show, and includes never-before-seen photographs, firsthand accounts on casting, insight into the decisions behind the costumes and sets, directors' accounts on filming your favorite scenes, and more from the creative minds that launched a cultural phenomenon. From the Introduction to Inside Bridgerton:
SHONDA: Shall we take everyone back to the beginning? Not to the 1800s, but to 2017 and that hotel room where I was sick, and needed something to read, and there happened to be a copy of The Duke & I by Julia Quinn, the first of the Bridgerton novels. I'm not someone who was into romance novels--I really didn't even know much about the genre. But I picked it up, couldn't put it down, and then immediately got my hands on the rest of them because they were a fabulous read. And then I passed them to you.
BETSY: I thought you might have hit your head in the hotel room when you had the flu. Romance novels? But you insisted that they would be a fabulous show and you have excellent taste. I was deeply skeptical because I hadn't read a romance novel since I was a teen--I'd certainly never read a period romance novel.
SHONDA: Totally--you read the ones of the 1980s, when everyone wore huge shoulder pads and diamonds.
BETSY: Right. So there's some continuity here because these guys were wearing diamonds, too.
SHONDA: Fair--but as far as a period romance, I mean, if it wasn't Jane Austen, I didn't really know about it. I'm not going to diss Jane Austen because I'm not an idiot...
BETSY: She might get upset.
SHONDA: She might roll over in her grave. But Julia Quinn's novels were just so much juicier than Austen, and they're written by someone who was far less confined and less proper. After all, Julia is a modern woman, not stuck in the constraints of the age.
BETSY: Without a doubt. And I never knew that the ton existed: Austen wrote about a pastoral society where everyone is in relatively drab clothes and spent a lot of time in chapels and churches.
SHONDA: Totally. And they recycled their dresses more.
BETSY: Meanwhile, this was an amazing world of luxury and excess. And she had this crazy device of a gossip columnist, pulling the strings, which was such a cool concept. Julia Quinn created an entirely new, glamorous, bright world that you had actually never seen before.
