The Bridgerton Chroniclesa complicated experience for Ruby Barker
Upon the release of its first season, in December 2020, The Bridgerton Chronicles it was a great success. The series, which focused on the love affairs of members of 19th century London high society, even became most watched in Netflix history before being dethroned by Squid game. This response from subscribers has so far led to the launch of another season and a spin-off, Queen Charlotte.
Among those who participated in the success of The Bridgerton Chronicles It’s Ruby Barker. The latter plays Marina Thompson, a distant cousin of Lord Featherington whose pregnancy causes her to be seen as an outcast. She appears frequently in the first season, before returning briefly in the second season. But of course, the young actress does not have good memories of her experience in the series.
The actress is angry with Netflix
Barker was recently a guest LOAF Podcast from Oxford University. One of the main topics of the conversation was the importance of taking care of your mental health. And the British actress revealed itshe herself had big problems during the filming of The Bridgerton Chronicles :
During filming, my condition worsened. It was really tormenting because my character was really alienated, very ostracized, left to fend for himself in these horrible circumstances.
As reported Daily beastin May 2022, Barker even shared on Instagram a photo of him in hospitaladmitting that he had had quite a few difficulties starting from his experience Bridgerton. And during his appearance in the LOAF podcast, criticized Netflix and Shondaland (the production company founded by Shonda Rhimes) for not offering him support :
Not a single person from Netflix, not a single person from Shondaland has contacted me since I had these two psychotic attacks over the show to ask if I was okay or if I needed medical monitoring or just support. Nobody.
He shouldn’t return to the series
We hope that after such comments, Netflix and Shondaland will now help actors in their productions if they encounter difficulties. In any case, Marina Thompson’s interpreter also revealed it Digital spy Thatshe definitely wouldn’t be coming back Bridgerton. Precisely because of the problems he encountered since the beginning of filming the series. She also explained that she works with “Wellbeing in the Arts”, a charity that helps actors with mental health problems.
As for The Bridgerton Chronicles, fans are still waiting to discover the third season of the series. This one doesn’t have it no release date yet. In any case, to remember, a fourth season has already been ordered. On the other hand, nothing says that we will have the right to a second chapter Queen Charlotte.
