WWD spoke to the young British actress stars in the titular role for Netflix series “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story,” which premiered today.
She was cast in the buzzy role in early 2022 after a five-month audition process, and was on set filming a month later. “It was really, really slow — and then everything just picked up and it hasn’t really stopped since,” she says.
“The whole world was really exciting,” Amarteifio says. “I’d never been a part of a franchise, and I’d never led a project before, so I knew it was a big opportunity and I knew it was going to be a big role for me to choose to step into.”Another appeal: getting to work with show creator Shonda Rhimes, who Amarteifio first met during the cast’s initial table read. “She’s a bit of marvel,” says Amarteifio. “I forget sometimes the impact that she’s had on my industry.
“To be able to fully escape into something is very difficult for an actor, because we’re always looking at film and TV and going, ‘Oh, I know that person,’” she says. “But [the show was] so different to anything that I’d seen before that I was able to just completely absorb myself into this world.
