Darling readers, fasten your corsets and prepare for a scandal! While the whispers about Queen Charlotte still echo through the ton, a new rumor, juicier than Lady Whistledown's latest column, is making the rounds: Could Violet Bridgerton, the matriarch of the most prolific family in the ton, be getting her own spinoff?
Shonda Rhimes, the mastermind behind the Bridgerton universe, has been dropping hints faster than a debutante drops her handkerchief at a ball.

Violet's backstory, glimpsed in the Queen Charlotte prequel, left us wanting more. We saw young Violet Ledger, a blossoming rose played with charming naivete by Connie Jenkins-Greig, navigating the thorny path of courtship under the watchful eye of her father.
