Kim Kardashian’s dream might become a reality after learning her family was an inspiration for the characters of the Featherington family from Netflix’s hit show Bridgerton. Nicola Coughlan, known for her role as Penelope Featherington in the period drama series, revealed on social media that the Kardashian family influenced them.

“As the world’s number one @bridgerton Stan does @KimKardashian know that the Kardashians were a massive inspiration for the Featheringtons, and we talked about them all the time during our fittings?” Coughlan wrote on Twitter.

Coughlan also shared which Kardashian sister her character, Penelope Featherington, might be. According to the star, she often discusses with her co-stars Harriet Cains (Philippa Featherington) and Bessie Carter (Prudence Featherington).

“The three of us genuinely debate this all the time, I think Prudence and Phillipa are very Kourtney and Khloe cos they‘re besties, and Pen is a very successful business woman, also I remember Kim being like a very good detective too so there’s that...” the actress tweeted.
