Bridgerton is the Netflix period drama that everyone’s talking about and the good news is that it has been renewed for a second season.
Earlier this week, the streaming giant promised âexciting newsâ about the raunchy series, Bridgerton which stars British actress Phoebe Dynevor as a debutante in Regency London.
Netflix announced the news through a special edition of the mysterious narrator Lady Whistledownâs gossipy Society Paper, posted on Instagram.
Season two will seemingly follow the eldest Bridgerton sibling, Anthony, played by Jonathan Bailey, as detailed in the second book by author Julia Quinn.
It was also confirmed that filming will begin in spring in the UK.
Bridgerton is produced by Shonda Rhimesâ Shondaland and has been described as Gossip Girl meets Downton Abbey.
It recently helped drive Netflix to more than 203 million global subscribers.
Rege-Jean Page plays the mysterious and rebellious Duke of Hastings opposite Dynevor in the first series, as she makes her debut on the marriage market.
In a series of tweets, Netflix suggested that Anthony Bridgerton would âdominateâ the new episodes.
It said: âPrepare for another social season! @Bridgerton shall be back for Season 2,â adding: âAnd according to Lady Whistledown, âLord Anthony Bridgerton intends to dominate the social seasonââ
