Summary
Riverford is the period drama everyone is watching. Lavish costumes, scandalous romance, and soaring ratings have turned its cast into overnight global celebrities - whether they were ready for it or not.
Anthony Bridgerton thrives on screen but struggles behind the scenes, where managing the expectations of fans, press, and a publicist who thinks she knows best proves far more difficult than any storyline written for him.
Benedict Rokesby has always guarded his private life carefully. When his long-term girlfriend is cast in Riverford, the world he kept separate from his career suddenly collides, forcing him to decide how much of himself he’s willing to share.
Colin Ledger is still learning how to exist in the spotlight. Overshadowed by his onscreen brothers and unsure of his place both on and off set, he finds himself wanting something fame can’t provide: Penelope’s attention.
Not in the Script explores what happens when life veers off-page—where love, longing, and identity unfold in the spaces fame never prepared them for.
