BRIDGERTON actress Adjoa Andoh has opened up about the backlash the Netflix show has received over the casting of its stars.
The smash-hit show Bridgerton brought to life by Netflix and Shondaland has redefined the way romance and period dramas are portrayed on the screen. Producer Shonda Rhimes was the driving force behind shows such as Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal and How To Get Away With Murder and has added some spice to the period book series-turned-TV show. Actress Adjoa Andoh has set the record straight that the show is authentic to the time period.
Joining BBC Breakfast this week Adjoa, who plays Lady Danbury, and Ruth Gemmell, who plays Lady Violet Bridgerton, spoke about the show and its success.
Broadcaster Victoria Darbershire asked: “Adjoa, what did you think of the reaction after season one?”
Joining the morning news show virtually, the actress replied: “So here’s the thing, in terms of its historical accuracy, I think it’s probably the most historically accurate romance historical drama you are going to see.
“Because people of colour were there, the Queen was of colour, that stuff’s all true.”
When it was released, it climbed to the number one streaming spot on Netflix in multiple countries and held the most viewed show record until Squid Game landed.
Describing the relief the show provided during the lockdown, she added: “Then here came this sort of bubble of fabulousness and joy, and I think we all just felt that we could give the country a bit of a lift with the show.
“I think that is what the love was about, people were surprised and lifted out of what moment they were in at that time. We were all thrilled about that.”
She concluded that it was “mind-blowing” that 82 million households watched the show within the first 28 days.
