Bridgerton Season 2 Official Trailer
On Monday, Netflix aired the second season of Bridgerton’s new trailer. Netflix previously announced the premiere date for Bridgerton’s first year following its anniversary. The BBC adaptation of Julia Quinn’s Regency romance series, which was created by Chris Van Dusen, premiered on Christmas Day 2020 and became Netflix’s most-watched program to date. Netflix has ordered three more seasons of Bridgerton and a spinoff series. Between seasons, the cast grew by four members, but breakout star Regé-Jean Page will not be back as the program focuses on other people and relationships. Fans were shocked by this information, which came as a surprise to executive producer Shonda Rhimes.
“I don’t think I fully expected or understood what releasing all eight episodes around the globe at once was going to do,” Rhimes told Vanity Fair. “And yeah, I was like, ‘I’ve killed many a man that people adore.’ I’m so surprised that everybody is [losing it over a character we’ve watched] for eight episodes leaving. But obviously, Regé is an amazing actor and he did an amazing thing and people responded. I also was surprised because the nature of this series is simply, this year it’s this couple, this year it’s [that] couple.”
Bridgerton adapts Julia Quinn’s series of novels about a group of interconnected characters living in a fictionalized version of Regency-era England’s high aristocracy. The story is told through the perspectives of a variety of characters in each series, and the Netflix adaptation maintains this structure. The second season follows Anthony Bridgerton, played by Jonathan Bailey. One of the most popular characters from season one, Pheobe Deynevor’s Daphne Bridgerton will have a major part in season two.
“Bridgerton swept us off our feet. The creative team, led by Shonda, knew the material and delivered a beautiful, emotional, romantic drama for our members. They have some exciting plans for the future, and we think audiences will continue to swoon for this show. We’re planning to be in the Bridgerton business for a long time to come,” said Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s VP, Global TV, in the renewal announcement.
Bridgerton is “a romantic, scandalous, and quick-witted series that celebrates the timelessness of enduring friendships, families finding their way, and the search for a love that conquers all.” On March 25th, Netflix will premiere Season 2 of Bridgeton. You may watch Bridgeton’s first season on Netflix now.
