Watch: Derry Girls’ Nicola Coughlan stars in new Netflix period drama

Derry Girls star Nicola Coughlan has joined forces with acting giants such as Julie Andrews and Jonathan Bailey in a brand new period drama set to be streamed on Netflix this Christmas.

The series, named Bridgerton, is best on Julia Quinn’s best-selling novels, which follow the story of eight siblings from a wealthy family as they embark on a journey of finding love, and ultimately marriage. Netflix have descibed the plot as:

Bridgerton follows Daphne Bridgerton (played by Phoebe Dynevor), the eldest daughter of the powerful Bridgerton family as she makes her debut onto Regency London’s competitive marriage market.

“Hoping to follow in her parent’s footsteps and find a match sparked by true love, Daphne’s prospects initially seem to be unrivaled. But as her older brother begins to rule out her potential suitors, the high society scandal sheet written by the mysterious Lady Whistledown (voiced by Julie Andrews) casts aspersions on Daphne.”
