Taking its shows to the real world, Netflix invites you to the ‘Bridgerton’ ball – a chance to witness the evolution of the show.
At this year’s Emmy Awards, Netflix hosted a special event with the stars of their shows as part of the streaming service’s celebration of the 2016 Emmys, titled the Emmys at Sundance.

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, Tropper’s event was set up with some celebrity guests as well as journalists, and they all seemed to have a great time.
Ahead of the red carpet event, here are the stars’ reactions to the red carpet event, along with a few thoughts about making TV.
