TV AMERICAN HORROR STORY S12
While the casting of Kim Kardashian in the next season of AHS has drawn the ire of some, including Patti LuPone and Sharon Stone, no-one can argue with Cara Delevingne’s (pictured) debut in the horror anthology after this sneak peek. The model joined series regular Emma Roberts on the streets of New York to film scenes for the next instalment Delicate, based on the upcoming novel by Danielle Valentine.

BRIDGERTON USHERS IN A NEW ERA WITH AN UNTOLD LOVE STORY
When it premiered on Netflix in 2020, Bridgerton’s mix of gossip, romance and raunchy scenes made it an instant success. Its new prequel series is set to titillate just as much. Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story might be set 40 years before Simon (Regé-Jean Page) swept Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) off her feet and into his bed, at a time when the ’ton was a very different place, but that doesn’t mean King George III (Corey Mylchreest) burns for Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (India Amarteifio) any less.
The drama is based on the real-life story of the historical couple, who tied the knot in 1761, just six hours after the teenage bride arrived in England from Germany. While their relationship started out as an arranged marriage, it quickly turned into one of British history’s most legendary romances, with the king scandalising Georgian society by opting to never take a mistress.
While the Netflix series does embellish their story, the fact that Charlotte and George went on to have 15 children does provide a basis to have them in the boudoir fairly often. That meant Mylchreest and Amarteifio had to get really comfortable with each other very quickly.
“It felt pretty strange as neither of us had ever shot those kinds of scenes before,” Mylchreest tells WHO over Zoom for a chat from London with his leading lady. “But is such a well-oiled machine that we knew we’d be in safe hands. So we just had a lot of trust in each other and decided to jump straight in.”
