Several actors have pulled double duty by appearing in Harry Potter and Bridgerton — but what is the connection?

The answer as to why stars such as Regé-Jean Page and Sam Clemmett appeared in both franchises is actually quite simple. Each project is a U.K. production and the cast members in Harry Potter and Bridgerton are actors mostly based overseas.

Based on a series of seven books by J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter released movies from 2001 to 2011 about a young boy who gets introduced to magic as he attends a school dedicated to wizardry. The hit franchise catapulted Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Tom Felton and more of its cast to fame.

Bridgerton, meanwhile, focuses on a different member of the titular family each season as they attempt to find love in 19th-century London. The Regency series is expected to have eight seasons based on the eight novels written by Julia Quinn about each Bridgerton sibling.
