With numbers still being in the count, Season 1 of Bridgerton was watched by a record 82 million households around the world. Based on the first book in Quinn’s series, The Duke and I, centered on the complicated romance between the eldest Bridgerton daughter, Daphne, played by Phoebe Dynevor, and the Duke of Hastings Simon Bassett, portrayed by Regé-Jean Page. Here’s what we know so far.
Bridgerton Season 2 Official Announcement
Bridgerton season 2 was officially announced on January 21 which is less than a month after the first season premiered on Christmas. Netflix confirmed the reboot through social media and revealed Bridgerton Season 2 filming would begin by March 2021. Well, there is currently no specific date given for the release of Bridgerton Season 2. Lady Whistledown wrote a long letter to fans about what’s ahead. “Dear Readers, I dare say this may be the most exciting edition of my column yet…” the announcement started out. Bridgerton Season 2 is in progress and focusing on a new Bridgerton family member ie. Daphne’s elder brother.
The news spread like a rumor in the Ton, which would make Lady Whistledown very happy. Shonda Rhimes, the producer of the show posted a tweet saying “more #Bridgerton magic is coming soon,” along with a video celebrating the significant event. After reaching more than 63 million viewers Bridgerton is surely guaranteed to return for more. Even though the cast itself is unsure about the plot. “We all really hope [it will be renewed],” Nicola Coughlan (Penelope Featherington) told Variety in December 2020. “It’s a real joy to make and the response has been beyond our wildest dreams. But until the Netflix gods come down and bless us, we don’t know.”
Spotlight on Daphne’s Siblings
Julia Queen, the author of the Bridgerton novels has given significance to each member in the prequels and so does the creator of the show Chris Van Dusen is planning to do. “We know there are eight Bridgerton siblings [and] there are eight Bridgerton books, “So, in success, I would love to be able to explore love stories and romances for all the Bridgerton brothers and sisters, of course.” – were Van Dusen’s words for a succession of series.
