'Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story' specializes in the queen's tragic love story with King George III — but fans are rooting for Reynolds and Brimsley.

Spoiler alert: This article incorporates spoilers for Netflix's Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, in addition to e book spoilers for the better half novel Queen Charlotte via Julia Quinn and Shonda Rhimes.

Queen Charlotte's (Golda Rosheuvel's) dependable man-servant Brimsley (played by way of Hugh Sachs and Sam Clemmett), a relentless presence on Bridgerton because the display's first season, gets his time to shine in the Netflix sequence Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.

It's laborious not to root for Brimsley's secret romance with King George III's man-servant, Reynolds (Freddie Dennis).

However, the ending of the show left our hearts collectively torn asunder as the older Brimsley, nonetheless dependable as ever to Charlotte, danced alone in the courtyard. What happened to Reynolds? Is he nonetheless alive in the present Bridgerton timeline?

We went to Julia Quinn — author of the Bridgerton novels that impressed the unique Shondaland Netflix series — for answers!

Reynolds and Brimsley's dating was once strained by means of their duties to the king and queen.

While young Charlotte (India Ria Amarteifio) and George (Corey Mylchreest) still struggle with issues consummating their marriage in the early episodes of Netflix's Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, it is glaring that Brimsley and Reynolds are principally already (secretly) an previous married couple.

The better half novel — which is solely referred to as Queen Charlotte, and which most effective takes place in Charlotte's younger days — expands upon Brimsley's backstory, giving readers a couple of chapters from his POV.

Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story is filled with tragic, heart-wrenching moments, but one that particularly were given the web ablaze with emotion (but even so the enduring Charlotte and George final scene) was the transition of younger Brimsley dancing with Reynolds to older Brimsley dancing ... on my own.

When Distractify requested Julia herself what happened to Reynolds, the Queen Charlotte co-author coyly responded, "We don't know. We really don't know."

TikTok has theories about #whathappenedtoreynolds.

Julia's evasive response to the query led us to imagine that most likely Shonda Rhimes has an answer planned for a future Bridgerton episode (many enthusiasts of the Queen Charlotte series have already posted TikToks tough Shonda pay for their treatment expenses only for the Brimsley scene by myself!).

Julia did tell us, "Reynolds, to me, is such an intriguing character. And he's played so well by Freddie Dennis. He's just so regal. I keep saying to Shonda, 'I think Reynolds is really secretly a duke. He's so proper.'"

She also famous that out of the entire characters she wished she had the space to write POV chapters for in the Queen Charlotte novel, Reynolds was her best pick out.

In the Queen Charlotte novel, George and Charlotte actually spot Reynolds and Brimsley being adorable couple objectives at one level. The royal couple mutually decide to let Reynolds and Brimsley enjoy their time in combination, spotting kindred loving spirits in their loyal man-servants.

However, Reynolds's destiny in the novel could also be left unanswered.

So suffice to say, it was the understatement of the century when Julia herself informed us earlier than the authentic Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story sequence premiere on Netflix, "You're gonna love it when you see [Brimsley and Reynolds] on screen."

Hopefully we'll see the couple once more on our screens, reunited, quicker quite than later.
