Bridgerton Star Cast in Prime Video’s Red, White & Royal Blue Movie
The forthcoming Red, White, and Royal Blue movie adds three new actors, including Bridgerton star Thomas Flynn. Based on Casey McQuiston's acclaimed LGBTQ romance novel of the same name, the upcoming Prime Video romcom is being helmed by Matthew Lopez in his directorial debut. The Red, White, and Royal Blue story follows two arch rivals, Alex Claremont-Diaz (Taylor Zakhar Perez), the First Son of the United States, and the British royal Prince Henry (Nicholas Galitzine), as they develop an unexpected romance after their families arrange for a sham truce between them. Filming on the movie is well underway, and the ensemble also continues to grow bigger.
As reported by Variety, the Red, White, and Royal Blue movie cast has expanded, enlisting Flynn, Sharon D. Clarke, and Malcolm Atobrah in key roles. They join an all-star ensemble that includes Perez, Galitzine, Uma Thurman, Sarah Shahi, Rachel Hilson, and Stephen Fry, among others. Details on the new actors' roles are currently being kept under wraps.
