Decider | The Unexpected Link Between Bridgerton and Arctic Horror @Decider. | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 13 hours ago.
For fans of "Bridgerton," finding the next binge-worthy show after a particularly steamy season often means delving into other romance series or period dramas. From classics like "Pride and Prejudice" to the high-society intrigue of "Downton Abbey," or even Shondaland's own "Still Star-Crossed," the options seem endless. However, a less obvious recommendation might surprise you: "American Horror Story." While it's not the first series that comes to mind for "Bridgerton" aficionados, there is a fascinating connection between the romantic escapades of the ton and the chilling narrative of AMC's "The Terror," particularly through a character introduced in "Bridgerton" Season 3.
A Reddit user was among the first to spot the intriguing link between "Bridgerton" and "The Terror." This connection centers around Lord Alfred Debling, a character introduced in Season 3 of "Bridgerton." Played by Sam Phillips, Lord Debling is a wealthy, well-titled gentleman with a keen interest in the Northwest Passage, a perilous Arctic route. This historical quest to find a commercial path through the Arctic inspired Dan Simmons' novel "The Terror," which was adapted into a TV series by David Kajganich in 2018. The novel and the first season of the show depict the doomed Franklin expedition of 1845, which sought to navigate this treacherous route. #Bridgerton #LordDebling #SamPhillips
