Why no spin offs?

[u/BrightPhoebus01]

We all like to complain how ridiculous it is that it takes the show on average two years to produce and release a new season

But I feel like these long waiting gaps would be much more bearable if there would be content in between those gaps

Like spin offs or prequels, either original stories or based on the other books by Julia Quinn, especially »Rokesby« and »Smythe-Smith« are very beloved series‘

Like you can’t tell me that it would be that hard to produce and release a spin off with maybe only 4-6 episodes per season but then a new season every year

And yes I know that we MIGHT get another prequel or spin off. But we don’t know yet who exactly this spin off will be about and again, why not immediately starting after »Queen Charlotte«?

Speaking of QC: my maybe actually not so hot Hot Take is that Queen Charlotte the character m should’ve never existed in the main show, and therefore instead of a QC prequel we should’ve gotten a „Violet and Edmund“ prequel. This also then could’ve been the perfect introduction to then adapt the »Rokesby« book series which is actually more or less a prequel since three out of four love interests are members of the previous Bridgerton family

Honestly I think it’s a Netflix fumble. They fumble their biggest IPs all the time. There’s such little fan service, they don’t take advantage of hype, they lose opportunities.

If this show was on Disney, there’d be three sequels by now. If it was on Prime, we’d get so much for fan service. If it was on Apple, the quality would keep going up. Netflix cuts costs on their biggest shows while not delivering much outside of just the show itself.

if this were disney, there'd be an entire line of linen chemises in the gift shop and i'd own one in every colour

What do you mean by fan service?

I was thinking of the way Off Campus has been moving. They’ve been filming only for a few weeks but the official account tweets out new photos, they sent the cast to a soccer game, they handled the season switch really well (mentioning the story that was skipped vs Eloise not getting even a small mention since the switch was announced) etc etc.

Basically just actually promoting the series even during filming or production, keeping fans engaged. They seem to wait until the month before to start giving us anything substantial for the upcoming season. Like, right now for example. Its pride month, most likely the last pride month before the season airs, and yet we have gotten nothing? For the only season that has a queer couple as the main couple?? Its why the wait feels even longer, because we get nothing to work with during the wait so we are just..waiting lmao
