Bridgerton fans rejoice as Queen Charlotte spin-off introduces gay storyline

gcn.ie:

Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story dropped on Netflix on May 4, with the show quickly reaching the number one spot on the Top 10 TV Programmes in Ireland chart.

While many viewers have been raving about the epic love story between the young queen and King George of England, it is the romance between Brimsley and Reynolds that has caught the attention of queer fans.While there have been minor hints of LGBTQ+ representation in the beloved Bridgerton series, this is the first time that any season of the franchise has featured fully-fledged, explicitly gay characters with significant screen time and their own storylines.Brimsely, played by Sam Clemmett, and Reynolds, played by Freddie Dennis, are secretaries for the Queen and King, respectively.

While plotting ways to match-make their masters, the pair unexpectedly fall for each other, thus igniting a secret and raunchy relationship.With the Netflix flagship production known for its hot and heavy sex scenes, the prequel delivers equally steamy behind-closed-doors encounters for its gay couple, much to the delight of many (thirsty) viewers.
