Prior to the events of the main “Bridgerton” series, Viscount Edmund had passed away from a bee sting (he was allergic and sadly no one knew and there wasn’t much to be done in the Regency era). That left Lady Violet to raise the Bridgerton kids, Anthony, Benedict, Colin, Daphne, Eloise, Francesca, Gregory, and Hyacinth.
The first four seasons have mainly focused on the kids and their romances, but Lady Violet’s love life got a little attention in the most recent season as she was courted by Lord Marcus Anderson. They pair even got engaged, but Lady Violet called it off at the end of the season to continue her journey of self-discovery as most of her children have been paired off in marriage.

No official title or release date for the Lady Violet prequel yet, but we’re sure Lady Whistledown will alert the media. Follow us on Instagram @WeArePauseRewind for all your pop culture obsessions.
