‘Bridgerton’ Season 2 Starts Filming In Spring 2021

It’s official: Lady Whistledown has announced – via a missive delivered on Instagram, of course- that the cast of Netflix

hit Bridgerton is set to return to work this spring. The note keeps in step with the tone of the show with Whistledown’s note addressed to the “Dearest Readers,” and informing said readers that the next season will focus not on Season 1’s Duke Hastings and Daphne Bridgerton but on one of the namesake family’s brothers: Lord Anthony Bridgerton.

“The ton are abuzz with the latest gossip, and so it is my honor to impact to you: Bridgerton shall officially return for a second season,” the note reads. “However, gentle reader, before you set the comments section alight with requests for more sordid details, know that I am disinclined to report on the particulars at this time. Patience, after all, is a virtue.”

This second season will focus on “The Viscount Who Loved Me,” which is book two in author Julia Quinn’s best selling romance novel series. For the season two pickup, Jonathan Bailey reprises his role as the eldest Bridgerton son, and most eligible bachelor of the ‘ton,” or high society in this Regency-era period drama produced by Shondaland and created by Chris Van Dusen.

Van Dusen gave some additional information about the upcoming season when he appeared on Today with Hoda & Jenna. “We have a bunch of new characters we are going to be introducing,” he said on air. “Anthony is going to have a love interest next season, and I think it’s going to be as sweeping and moving and as beautiful as viewers of the first season have come to expect from the show.”

In keeping with the show’s multi cultural swagger, Deadline is reporting that Anthony Bridgerton’s love interest, Kate Sheffield, is likely to be played by a South Asian or Indian actor. Several other new characters will be introduced and presumably are being cast currently.

Bridgerton became a smash hit on Netflix in part because of timing – it was released during the first holiday season for folks completely fatigued by all elements of the Covid-19 pandemic – and in part because the multicultural casting created a buzz while also welcoming a wide range of viewers to binge. It shattered records and became one of Netflix’s most watched series premieres. Some 63 million homes are said to have seen the show within four weeks of its December 25, 2020 release date. This week it once again hit the number one spot of Netflix’s top 10 shows.
