The hit Netflix period drama Bridgerton is back on our screens but many fans will be wondering when the show is actually set.
While it is known for having classical covers of modern pop songs, the show is certainly set in the past.
If you've always wondered when the programme takes place, here is everything you need to know.
When is Bridgerton set as it returns for series three?
Bridgerton follows a fictional family as they navigate the competitive social world of Regency-era London in the early 1800s.
The Regency era took place between 1795 and 1837. However, the official regency of King George III happened between the years of 1811 and 1820.
When will series three of Bridgerton start?
The first four episodes of the new Bridgerton series will become available on Netflix at 8am (BST) on Thursday, May 16.
