Lady Whistledown, the high society gossip writer, may narrate episodes of "Bridgerton," Netflix's Regency drama from Shondaland, currently in its second season. Unmasked as Penelope Featherington last season, the young writer dashing in and out of carriages, hiding in a maid's cloak and adopting fake accents at the print shop is played by Nicola Coughlan with Julie Andrews providing the voiceover narration.
But Whistledown is not the one pulling the strings, only describing them.
