“Bridgerton” is set in Regency-era London, mainly in the 1810s, with season 1 taking place in 1813 and season 2 in 1814.

Core setting

  • The series is set in Regency -period London high society, focusing on the social “season” when debutantes are presented and courtship and marriages are arranged.
  • In strict historical terms, the Regency is usually defined as 1811–1820, when George III was incapacitated and his son ruled as Prince Regent.

Specific years in the show

  • Season 1 is explicitly set in 1813, following Daphne Bridgerton’s debut and courtship with the Duke of Hastings.
  • Season 2 moves forward to 1814 and centers on Anthony Bridgerton’s hunt for a viscountess.

Timeline across the universe

  • The prequel “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story” jumps back to 1761 for Charlotte’s marriage to King George III, then forward again to around 1817 in its later timeline.
  • Later Bridgerton seasons are generally understood to stay in the mid-1810s, still within the broader Regency-era framework, even if exact years are not always emphasized on screen.
