Season 2 of ‘Bridgerton‘ is still a little while off, but Netflix has dropped a little “first look” at the highly anticipated return of the drama.
Based on Julia Quinn’s best-selling series of novels, ‘Bridgerton’, is set in the sexy, lavish and competitive world of Regency London high society. From the glittering ballrooms of Mayfair to the aristocratic palaces of Park Lane and beyond, the series unveils a seductive, sumptuous world replete with intricate rules and dramatic power struggles, where no one is truly ever on steady ground. At the heart of the show is the powerful Bridgerton family. Comprised of eight close-knit siblings, this funny, witty, daring and clever group must navigate the upper ten thousand’s marriage mart in search of romance, adventure and love.
Whilst season one of the drama focused on Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor – ‘Younger’, ‘Waterloo Road’), the eldest daughter of the powerful Bridgerton family, the second season follows the plot of the second novel, ‘The Viscount Who Loved Me’, and is based around Anthony (Jonathan Bailey – ‘Broadchurch’, ‘W1A’), the eldest Bridgerton sibling and dutiful head of the family since assuming his late father’s title of Viscount. You can see in the clip the beginnings of a turbulent romance with Kate Sharma (played by ‘Sex Education‘s Simone Ashley). Kate is smart, headstrong London newcomer, who suffers no fools… Anthony very much included!
‘Bridgerton’ has already been renewed for Seasons 3 and 4, and also has prequel series in the works, based around the origins of Queen Charlotte. The series is created by longtime Shonda Rhimes collaborator, Chris Van Dusen (‘Scandal’, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’, ‘Private Practice’), inspired by Julia Quinn’s novels. Van Dusen exec produces alongside Shondaland’s Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers.
‘Bridgerton‘ Season 2 is set to premiere in 2022 on Netflix UK and worldwide. If you want to keep track of this or any other shows, you can add them via our Never Miss system, and you’ll be notified when they get a UK premiere date.
