Who is Lady Whistledown? That is the question at the center of the first teaser for Netflix's `Bridgerton.`

In the upcoming eight-episode hourlong drama from Shondaland, Lady Whistledown is a mysterious author of a gossip newsletter that has provided much entertainment during the recent years' social seasons. But this time around, she is naming names.

Voiced by Julie Andrews in narration of her different pages, the character clearly has eyes and ears all around, despite claiming, `You don't know me and never shall` in the teaser.

With the new social season beginning at the start of the series, Andrews continues to say that, `We shall discover which young ladies might succeed at securing a match. Let it be known, if there's a scandal, I shall uncover it and share every last detail.`



Chris Van Dusen created the series and serves as showrunner. Other executive producers are Rhimes and Betsy Beers. Directors for the season, which launches on Dec. 25, include Julie Ann Robinson, Sheree Folkson, Tom Verica and Alrick Riley.
