Bridgerton

The prequel is not a prequel, and the seasons adapt the novels in the order one, two, four, three.

Where to start with Bridgerton

The order here genuinely matters, and the obvious move is the wrong one. Queen Charlotte is sold as a prequel, so people watch it first, and half of it is set in the present day of the main series.

  1. 1
    Bridgerton, season 1 Bridgerton

    Eight episodes adapting the first novel, following the eldest daughter. Nothing before it, and it sets up the narrator whose identity drives the next two seasons.

  2. 2
    Bridgerton, season 2 Bridgerton

    The second novel and the eldest brother. Finish this before the prequel, because the prequel's present-day half is set after it and assumes you know the court.

  3. 3
    Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story

    Six episodes running two strands: Charlotte's marriage in 1761, and an older Charlotte in the present day of the main series. Watching it first turns its reveals into flat exposition.

Then what? Then seasons three and four, both released as two halves of four episodes a month apart, and a fifth in 2027 with no date or episode count announced. On the books: the show does not follow publication order. It has run books one, two, four and three, and the fifth season takes book six, so reading along in order will not line up.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below — tick anything off in either place.

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. To carry it to another device, move the code below.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in — good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that — scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Restoring replaces the progress currently saved on this device for the franchise the code belongs to.
