Dearest reader, if you've come for your Bridgerton fix, you're absolutely in the right place. For Variety's "Making a Scene," Regé-Jean Page and Phoebe Dynevor, along with director Sheree Folkson and composer Kris Bowers, recently broke down the memorable "I burn for you" scene (as fans have lovingly referred to it) from the series' fifth episode, "The Duke and I"—and made us fall in love with the high-society match all over again. "You have no idea what lines people are going to care about," Phoebe revealed while reflecting on that epic wedding night scene. "That was surprising to me. It wasn't like I saw 'I...

Netflix’s glamorous period series “Bridgerton” dropped last month, giving romance fans a gorgeous eight-episode escape from the pandemic. And if you’ve already started to binge the series — or are starting your re-binge following Thursday’s Season 2 renewal — you probably noticed that accompanying the stunning costumes, lavish ballroom scenes and witty dialogue is a soundtrack filled with classical covers of modern songs.

It might be a little hard to put your finger on exactly what song you’re listening to, as the “Bridgerton” covers truly make these pop tracks sound like they were made for string quartets. But don’t worry, because TheWrap has the complete soundtrack listing for all the covers below.

Based on Julia Quinn’s romance novel series of the same name, “Bridgerton” follows Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor), the eldest daughter of the powerful Bridgerton family, as she makes her debut onto Regency London’s competitive marriage market.

The ton is about to swoon: “Bridgerton,” the first scripted series produced by Shonda Rhimes under her mega Netflix deal, has been renewed for Season 2, the streaming service revealed Thursday.

The second season, which will focus on the love life of Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey), will go into production this spring, according to Lady Whistledown’s Society Papers (aka Netflix’s on-brand press release), which you can view below.

Based on Julia Quinn’s romance novel series of the same name, the eight-episode first season of “Bridgerton,” which launched Dec. 25, follows Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor), the eldest daughter of the powerful Bridgerton family as she makes her debut onto Regency London’s competitive marriage market.

Hoping to follow in her parents’ footsteps and find a match sparked by true love, Daphne’s prospects initially seem to be unrivaled. But as her older brother begins to rule out her potential suitors,...

(Warning: Major spoilers ahead for Netflix’s “Bridgerton” through the Season 1 finale.)

The Shonda Rhimes-produced “Bridgerton” adaptation hit Netflix on Christmas Day, introducing fans of the Julia Quinn novels — and a whole new audience — to the romantic tales of the titular family. And narrating all the dramatic events throughout Season 1 is Lady Whistledown (voiced by Julie Andrews), a mysterious member of London’s high society who writes a regular column detailing the most scandalous gossip from the coming-out season.

Though she plays a pivotal role in “Bridgerton,” it’s not until the final moments of the Season 1 finale that viewers find out the identity of Lady Whistledown — but boy, is it worth the wait. Of course, if you’re not able to wait until the finale to learn who she really is, TheWrap is here to give you the answer.

Per Netflix’s official description, “Bridgerton” follows Daphne Bridgerton...

“All is fair in love and war.”

These are the first words heard in the official trailer for Netflix’s newest drama series, “Bridgerton,” and they certainly set the scene. They are spoken by none other than Julie Andrews, who serves as the series’ faceless narrator –- the ever-mysterious Lady Whistledown, who also writes a gossip column highlighting the scandalous lives of London’s elite.

With continued narration from Whistledown, the trailer introduces Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor), the eldest daughter of the powerful Bridgerton family, and the Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page), a bachelor with a bad reputation. As Daphne attends balls and other high society events, she can’t seem to escape the Duke – or the biting criticism of Whistledown, who declares Daphne ineligible.

So, the two team up and enter a faux romance, with Daphne hoping to prove Whistledown wrong and the Duke wanting to escape the mothers...

Netflix dropped the trailer for “Bridgerton” on Monday, the first scripted TV series that Shonda Rhimes has produced for the streaming service under her mega overall deal. And in the preview for the show, which launches Christmas Day, viewers are introduced to the mysterious Lady Whistledown (voiced by Julie Andrews), a woman who knows and writes about everything going on during the coming-out season in Regency-era London.

When young Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor), starts to have a hard time on the competitive marriage market and strikes a deal with the handsome Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page) so that all won’t be lost, Lady Whistledown becomes even more intrigued by the Bridgertons than she already was.

Watch the trailer for “Bridgerton,” created by Chris Van Dusen based on Julia Quinn’s bestselling novels of the same name, via the video above.

Updated, 7 Am: Netflix has unveiled the teaser trailer for Shonda Rhimes’ Bridgerton, based on Julia Quinn’s bestselling series of novels.

The period romance drama revolves around the elusive Lady Whistledown, voiced by Julie Andrews, the author of gossip newsletter Lady Whistledown’s Society Papers. “You do not know me and never shall, but be forewarned, dear reader: I certainly know you,” she warns in the voiceover narration.

“The social season is upon us. We shall discover which young ladies might succeed at securing a match,”

she says, adding “Let it be known, if there’s a scandal, I shall uncover it … and share every last detail.”

In addition to Andrews, the cast includes Phoebe Dynevor, Regé-Jean Page, Adjoa Andoh, Ruby Barker, Jonathan Bailey and Golda Rosheuvel.

You can watch the trailer above.

Previous, Oct. 15 Am: Netflix has dropped the release date and first-look images for its upcoming Shonda Rhimes series Bridgerton.

Shonda Rhimes took her talents to Netflix when she signed a mega overall deal with the streaming service in 2018, and with the teaser for “Bridgerton” released Monday, we’ve finally got a taste of what the prolific producer has been cooking up for her first project under the pact. The best way we can describe it is if you mashed up “Downton Abbey” with Rhimes’ “Scandal” — and we have no objections to the result.

In the video, which you can view here and above, you’ll be introduced to the Regency-era high society at the center of “Bridgerton” by Lady Whistledown (voiced by Julie Andrews), a mysterious woman who is narrating this tale and writing up columns full of dirt about everyone in town. We have no idea what scandal she’s about to uncover, but we’ll be tuning in to find out when the show drops Christmas Day on Netflix.

Who is Lady Whistledown? That is the question at the center of the first teaser for Netflix’s “Bridgerton.”

In the upcoming eight-episode hourlong drama from Shondaland, Lady Whistledown is a mysterious author of a gossip newsletter that has provided much entertainment during the recent years’ social seasons. But this time around, she is naming names.

Voiced by Julie Andrews in narration of her different pages, the character clearly has eyes and ears all around, despite claiming, “You don’t know me and never shall” in the teaser, which you can watch above.

With the new social season beginning at the start of the series, Andrews continues to say that, “We shall discover which young ladies might succeed at securing a match. Let it be known, if there’s a scandal, I shall uncover it and share every last detail.”

“Bridgerton,” which is the first scripted Shondaland series to launch under uber-producer Shonda Rhimes’ nine-figure,...

Mike Vogel, Adam Demos and Margaret Odette will join previously announced star Sarah Shahi in the series based on the Bb Easton book “44Chapters About 4 Men.”

Mike Vogel (The Brave) has been tapped as the male lead opposite Sarah Shahi in Netflix’s eight-episode dramedy series Sex/Life. Additionally, Adam Demos (UnReal) and Margaret Odette (Boogie) also have been cast in the project, which has set an all female directing team for the series. Patricia Rozema directs the first two episodes, followed by Jessika Borsiczky, Samira Radsi and Sheree Folkson.

Written by Stacy Rukeyser inspired by Bb Easton’s self-published memoir 44 Chapters About 4 Men, Sex/Life is the story of a love triangle between a woman, Billie Connelly (Shahi), her husband Cooper (Vogel), and her past which takes a deliciously steamy new look at female identity and desire.

Every series of Doctor Who has an episode that falls flat, gets little love from the Who community and is what fans would have you believe to be, in common parlance, 'a clunker'.

In the '80s, Colin Baker was dealt 'The Twin Dilemma' and Sylvester McCoy had 'Time and the Rani', while in the modern era, David Tennant fared 'Fear Her' and Matt Smith endured 'The Rings of Akhaten' (you can come out from behind the sofa now).

But, these stories do have their fans. Very vocal fans.

Last year - Peter Capaldi's first in charge of the Tardis - saw episode 10 come in for a bashing, with 'In The Forest of the Night' by award-winning writer Frank Cottrell-Boyce the perceived clunker of series eight.

At the time, Digital Spy awarded the episode a paltry 2 out of 5 - and fans displayed their collective displeasure by placing the story...

Sherlock series 4, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, will be themed around "consequences" says Steven Moffat...

This is a round-up of news relating to Sherlock's fourth series. (We say news. We're being a tad optimistic there.)

This Entertainment Weekly interview with Steven Moffat provided a few characteristic teases from the Sherlock showrunner, including the promise that series four would contain answers "to questions which nobody has asked" (Sherlock's Gcse results? Mycroft's shoe size? We're just spitballing here). Moffat continued, "we're very exultant about a little thing we've set up that no one is talking about". Fingers at the ready, people, and let the chin-stroking commence...

Shadowlocked apologises for the delays in John B's output on Buffy, Angel and Doctor Who.

Wall to Wall to make Woman in Red for BBC2.

The scandal surrounding 18th century aristocrat Lady Seymour Worsley is to be turned into a one-off docu-drama produced by Wall to Wall for BBC2.

Woman in Red follows Sienna Miller-fronted The Girl, which explored the relationship between Alfred Hitchcock and Tippi Hedren, and was the last large scale factual drama produced by the Warner Bros-owned indie.

The screenplay, penned by David Eldridge, tells the story of Lady Seymour Worsley, who left her husband and eloped with his best friend.

Lady Worseley, played by Natalie Dormer (Game of Thrones, The Hunger Games), subsequently becomes the subject of a high-profile court case brought against her by her shamed husband, played by Cilla star Aneurin Barnard.

The 90-minute drama is based on Hallie Rubenhold’s book Lady Worsley’s Whim, originally inspired by a painting of Lady Worsley which hangs in a stately home in Yorkshire.

The directors of Doctor Who's latest series brought back the scares in a big way. Well, fear is a superpower...

Warning: contains spoilers for every episode of the eighth series of Doctor Who.

We were promised back in August that the Peter Capaldi era of Doctor Who would mark a departure from the adventurous fairy tale approach of Matt Smith's run.

“Darker” and “edgier” are buzz words that have been applied to countless Hollywood sequels, but the eighth series actually lived up to that promise and by September, the tabloid press were dispensing think-pieces about whether or not it had become too scary for children (“scary” here standing in for “complicated” in Smith's era and “heretical” when David Tennant got a lift off a couple of angel robots in Voyage Of The Damned.)

All moral panics aside, this series brought back the scares in a big, bad way.

Despite its larger arcing issues this season, Doctor Who has had a surprisingly strong year. Each episode has featured entertaining and engaging moments and a good blend of comedy and drama. Even the season’s least substantial episode (“Robot of Sherwood”) still on the whole worked. As a Whovian, this reviewer will give the series many things. The moon is really an egg? Sure. Robin Hood was an actual living person, his persona accurately captured and unchanged by centuries of storytelling? Fine.

8.10 In The Forest Of The Night

"You need an appointment to see the Doctor"

So this one's a bit different. Coming off the back of a run of Doctor Who episodes where new monsters, big jumps and horror undertones have been regular features, In The Forest Of The Night heads off in the other direction. In doing so - and this is its gamble - it sacrifices things that generally matter to a Doctor Who episode.

Firstly, there's no strong monster, although Who has managed without those in previous stories and still come up trumps. Secondly, it doesn't have a tangible threat, that feels like something to push against. That's an obstacle that In The Forest Of The Night has more trouble with.

"These readings are very ish-y"

Ah, Missy, Missy, Missy. The plot thickens. With Clara and the Doctor seemingly as close to happy families as they've been all series, Missy has to go and throw another spanner in the works right at the end.

She does it with a simple line, and a giggle. "Clara, my Clara. I chose well", she says. So woah: is Clara Missy's mole? Has she been placed into the Doctor's life deliberately all along (it's been hinted that the two coming together is no coincidence in the past)? Is Clara aware that she's part of whatever Missy's plan is? Is the internet big enough to handle all the speculation?

Not for the first time this series, the last moments...

The BBC have released the full list of titles, writers and directors for each of the upcoming series 8 episodes of Doctor Who. While the titles offer up a few hints as to what we should expect from Peter Capaldi’s debut year as The Doctor, it’s also clear that the series has a lot of impressive talent behind the camera too.

That includes Ben Wheatley, director of A Field in England, Kill List and Sightseers.

Also below are a batch of brand new stills from “Deep Breath”, featuring Capaldi (who makes his debut as the 12th Doctor here) and Jenna Coleman, reprising her role as Clara Oswald.

The BBC’s drip-feed of new Doctor Who information continues today, with this week’s Monday-brightening instalment being a full list of titles, writers, and directors for all twelve episodes of Series 8.

The list itself is largely the same as a list of rumoured titles that circulated online several weeks ago, with the only differences being the titles of episodes 10 and 11, and very small difference in the title of Episode 3. Which begs the question of whether or not there might have been a few last minute title changes in response to that list. Particularly since Into The Forest Of The Night (Episode 10) is a pretty unwieldy title when compared to the rumoured title Child’s Play. The list also reveals that we’ll be seeing Danny Pink earlier than expected (Well, those of us who haven’t watched Episode 2 yet) with his first appearance...

The BBC has officially released a list of the episode titles, writers and directors for each of the twelve episodes of the upcoming eighth series of "Doctor Who".

The project marks the debut season of Peter Capaldi as the Doctor. Jenna Coleman reprises her role as Clara Oswald, whilst Samuel Anderson hops onboard as recurring companion Danny Pink from the second episode.

Showrunner Steven Moffat penned the 75-minute season premiere, the fourth episode, and the two-part finale. He also contributed to the second, fifth and sixth episode scripts. His "Sherlock" co-producer Mark Gatiss penned the third.

Other notable inclusions are "Kill List" and "Sightseers" writer/director Ben Wheatley helming the first two episodes, "24 Hour Party People" and "Railway Man" scribe Frank Cottrell Boyce penning the tenth, and "Tank Girl" and "Freddy's Dead" helmer Rachel Talalay directing the two-part finale.
