Netflix Gives Fans A First Look At 'Bridgerton' Season 2!

Fans of the Netflix hit “Bridgerton,” can't wait for the show's second season to premiere on March 25.

Although the first season focused on the love story of Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor), the show's second season will follow the Julia Quinn novels they are based on and follow the love story of her brother, Lord Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey).

He is determined to make a love match when Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley) and her younger sister Edwina (Charithra Chandran) arrive from India. Although he intends to wed Edwina, Kate decides to intervene when she realizes that Anthony does not truly love her. As they butt heads, they both slowly start to fall in love with one another.

The series features a large cast that also includes Adjoa Andoh, Lorraine Ashbourne, Harriet Cains, Bessie Carter, Shelley Conn, Nicola Coughlan, Ruth Gemmell, Florence Hunt, Martins Imhangbe, Claudia Jessie, Calam Lynch, Luke Newton, Golda Rosheuvel, Luke Thompson, Will Tilston, Polly Walker, Rupert Young, and Julie Andrews as the voice of Lady Whistledown.

Shonda Rhimes is returning as executive producer under her Shondaland company and teased what fans can expect from the second season since it was announced last year that Simon Basset (Regé-Jean Page), the Duke of Hastings, would not be making a return.

"I think there’s a powerful, interesting, romantic couple at the heart of it," she said in a recent interview with Variety.

"They’re an incredibly interesting and exciting pair," she continued. "I like to watch them."

"Our goal, if we do our job correctly, is you are going to be as invested and excited by that couple as you were by the couple of Season 1," she added.

Her statements were echoed by Chris Van Dusen, who serves as the series creator.

Fans were ecstatic to get a quick glimpse of all their favorite characters before season 2 debuts in March.

“The Queen is my hero,” one fan wrote. “The actress is just perfect in the role.”

“Ooh, that couple in the background has a story to tell, too! Love it!” another fan commented. “Love our heroes too- are they united against a busybody, are they feeling the tension between themselves? I’m so ready!”

“Where is Lady Danbury (aka bad b---- in red) ?????” another asked. “If I can’t have Simon Bass, hopefully my other faves, Queen Charlotte and Lady Danbury, have good screen time this season.”

“This is a nice little treat for us,” another wrote. “The actor’s expressions, hand placement, costumes. We are in for a wonderful S2. Thank you.”

On Christmas Day, to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the series, Netflix announced the release date of the series, as read by the cast from none other than Lady Whistledown.

“Happy anniversary to our buzzy ton,” the letter began. “It is customary for a first anniversary to gift paper, dear readers. I do hope you find this one informative. ‘Bridgerton’ returns March 25, 2022.”

Fans were over the moon to see the Netflix hit returning for yet another season.

“Omg I’m so excited Anthony and Kate are literally my most favorite couple out of the entire book series,” one fan wrote. “Can’t wait to see some of my favorite book scenes adapted into the actual series.”

“I just finished re-watching the first season, I can’t wait for season 2!!!!” another wrote.

“I can’t wait to watch Bridgerton season 2!!!” another wrote. “I watched the season 1 of Bridgeton and I think it was so interesting and I’m sure the season 2 should be too.”

“Wow lady whistledown knows how to keep audiences on their toes,” another shared.

“About time!” another fan commented. “Those of us without lives have been waiting with bated breath for too long. Seriously, thank you for series 2. My hope is that Netflix will film all eight novels.”

“I couldn’t be more excited!” another wrote. Can’t wait to see the fire that will be Kate and Anthony. Can’t wait to see more Eloise and Penelope shenanigans. Can’t wait to see hopefully some Polin scenes. I’m ready to be back with the Bridgertons.”
