Shonda Rhimes has spoken about how she views Bridgerton more as a “workplace drama” than a romance, and why the hit Netflix adaptation needs to have a finite end point.
Speaking at the Edinburgh TV Festival, where the television producer and screenwriter received the inaugural fellowship, Rhimes shared that she began reading the first book in the Bridgerton series while sick after finding it in her hotel room, and then immediately went out and bought the entire series.
