The hottest show in all of television right now is Bridgerton as season three of the hit series is now available on Netflix. While the show may be set in England, we’ve gotten word of a Mississippi connection who’s played a key role in launching it into the No. 1 streaming spot.
According to a social media post from the Sonic Boom of the South, Jackson State alumnus and former J-Sette dancer Lauren Gamble was one of the writers behind episode four of season three called “Old Friends.”
