Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story star to lead coming-of-age romance

As a seasoned cinema enthusiast with a soft spot for coming-of-age romances and a keen eye for rising talent, I find myself eagerly anticipating “Into The Deep Blue.” The pairing of India Amarteifio and Damian Hardung, both of whom have proven their mettle in the realm of streaming giants Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, promises an intriguing dynamic.


I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been paired with India Amarteifio and Damian Hardung for our upcoming film, “Into The Deep Blue,” a heartwarming tale about growing up and falling in love. As a passionate cinephile, this role is a dream come true!

The film chronicles the journey of two best friends, Nick (Hardung) and Fiona (Amarteifio), who initially bonded during group therapy sessions. After enduring a profound loss, they work tirelessly to rebuild their lives.

“Instead of falling in love at this point, they should probably avoid it.” As their emotions start to surface during a weekend getaway, they may find it wiser to end their relationship rather than confront their feelings.

Directed by Jonathan Wright (Awakening the Zodiac), the movie will be filmed in the UK.

Producer Aletha Shepherd expressed her excitement about assembling such an outstanding group of actors for this exceptional screenplay. It’s a delight to collaborate with these gifted individuals, particularly knowing that we’re creating something truly unique and extraordinary.

“We’re thrilled to discover the perfect setting and collaborator who will help ensure this movie achieves the acclaim it merits.”

Jennifer Presser, one of the co-producers, stated: “This movie tells an incredible tale of grief, friendship, and personal development. I’m overjoyed to be collaborating with such a talented team. We are delighted to have India and Damian breathe life into these intricate characters. Their undeniable talent promises to take this film to new heights.”

In Netflix’s Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, Amarteifio is widely recognized for her captivating performance as Queen Charlotte, sharing the screen with Corey Mylchreest in his role as King George.

Recently, Hardung made a striking debut on screens, portraying the character James in Prime Video’s hit young adult series, Maxton Hall, which is not only set in Germany but also holds the record as Prime Video’s most-watched international show ever.

Hardung is coming back to Maxton Hall for another round, as the venue was re-contracted by Prime Video due to its previous success.

The streaming service announced that the series had set a new record for the highest first-week global viewership of any International Original on Prime Video. UFA producer Ceylan Yildirim expressed their amazement at the enthusiastic responses.

Showrunner Shonda Rhimes clarified to Entertainment Weekly that while some questions have arisen, she hasn’t engaged in detailed discussions about it just yet. She shared that she could envision Charlotte and George’s relationship lasting forever, but the story they told is a complete portrayal of their complex, flawed love. However, she emphasized that she keeps an open mind, as she never knows what may happen in the future.
