We spoke to Freddie Dennis from Netflix's latest hit, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. This is a spin-off/prequel of the successful Netflix original series Bridgerton. Dennis plays Reynolds, who works for the King and secretly has a relationship with the Queen's man, Brimsley (Sam Clemmett). While the series focuses on Queen Charlotte and King George (their initial meeting, marriage, and such) -- Reynolds and Brimsley became fan favorites as they had to hide their relationship. It's the first LGBTQIA+ story told in the Bridgerton world, and Dennis said he could not be more honored to be a part of it. While Dennis gave a lot of credit to his fellow actors, the writers, and the crew of the show -- he went into detail on how he decided to play Reynolds, the conversations he had with Sam to make sure they were getting it right, and some of his favorite scenes to shoot. We also talk about the graceful hand-touching scene (with no dialogue) that happens (if you know, you know). Dennis is one of the easiest people to connect with -- before we hit record, we chatted about where each of us was, how it was sunny in London, and just about life in general. Dennis is exceptionally humble and fights every compliment I give him. However, I think I got through in the end. After dissecting his character, we both spoke about what he is up to now and if there will be a second season of Queen Charlotte that we desperately want.
