Exclusive: HBO Max has acquired the film and TV rights to Tina Andrews’ praised historical novel about Queen Charlotte, Charlotte Sophia: Myth, Madness and the Moor. If a project is put into development, Andrews would serve as creator/showrunner and executive producer.
Andrews’ 20 years of major research on Queen Charlotte culminates in the journey of a young German Princess whom the British did not know was a woman of color. She becomes Queen in an arranged marriage to King George III.
BAFTA and Emmy-winning producer, David M. Thompson (HBO’s Catherine the Great) will executive produce alongside Andrews.
“I’m thrilled to be developing this extraordinary story with Tina and HBO Max,” added Thompson. “It’s got all the makings of a very entertaining, distinctive and provocative drama.”
Queen Charlotte also is the subject of a Bridgerton franchise prequel limited series written by Shonda Rhimes, which just received a greenlight at Netflix.
