Julia Quinn published “The Duke and I,” the first of her “Bridgerton” novels, in 2000. Seven books and a quarter century later, its adaptation remains one of the biggest series ever to air on Netflix. In this week’s episode, Quinn speaks to the host Gilbert Cruz about the show, her books and why the heck that family has so many children.
“I don’t even remember why I made eight kids,” said Quinn. “I just, I wanted her to have a big family and somehow that’s how many kids there were. And if I had planned on eight, I would’ve plotted things out better. There were a number of places where I really wrote myself into a corner.”
