Netflix has unveiled the title of the Bridgerton spin-off series about Queen Charlotte, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.
The update came as part of Netflix's TUDUM festival, where the streaming giant also revealed a first look at the new show. The clip sees a young Charlotte, played by Sex Education's India Amarteifio, come face to face with George, the King of England.
In the teaser, Charlotte, dressed in regal attire, is trying to scale a wall and escape from the castle, so she does not have to marry the king.
However, she just so happens to be interrupted by the aforementioned king halfway through this endeavour. Charlotte, not realising that she's speaking to the king that she is so desperately trying to escape, explains her whole plan to him in her frustration, and asks him to help her escape.

When George asks her why she is trying to escape, she says it's because the king is "clearly a beast or a troll, because no one will speak of him."
"I do not care what he looks like, what I do not like is not knowing," Charlotte adds, before once again asking for his assistance to flee the castle, as she tells him she is a lady in distress.
"I have absolutely no intention of helping you," George replies, as he finally reveals his identity to her: "I refuse to help a lady in distress when she’s trying to go over a wall so that she doesn't have to marry me."
