Filming on Bridgerton Season 2 has got wrapped

Bridgerton Season 2 has wrapped filming, as evidenced by a set photo. Season 1 of Netflix’s Regency-era romantic series, based on a series of novels by Julia Quinn, premiered in December 2020.

Bridgerton was the most-watched series on Netflix at the time of its debut, with 82 million household views, which has since been surpassed by Squid Game’s 142 million. Season 2 is scheduled to take on a completely new love story after the previous season concentrated on Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon Bassett (Regé-Jean Page), the latter of whom will not be returning.

Storyline

Season 2 will follow the romance between Daphne’s brother, Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey), and Kate Sharma, based on Quinn’s second novel, The Viscount Who Loved Me (Simone Ashley). Although many fans were disappointed to learn that Page would not be returning, much of the cast is returning for the second season, including Dynevor, Nicola Coughlan, Claudia Jessie, and Julie Andrews as Lady Whistledown’s voice.

There’s some great news for fans of Netflix’s wildly popular period drama who are impatiently awaiting the next season.

End of Shooting

Bridgerton’s sophomore season has finally ended filming, according to a tweet from Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope Featherington on the show. Penelope’s scandalous gossip columns, which she writes under the hidden identity Lady Whistledown, were accompanied with a set photo of an elaborately decorated cake topped with a quill and ink, of course, a reference to Penelope’s scandalous gossip columns. Coughlan included a few lines in the description, expressing her excitement for the second season.

Check out her post below:

The first season ended with the shocking revelation that Penelope is Lady Whistledown, a storyline that is expected to continue in the second.

It’ll be fascinating to watch how the show handles Page’s departure and explains the Duke of Hastings’ absence, especially while his wife, Daphne, is still present. However, after the first book, The Duke and I, Simon doesn’t play a significant role in the source material, therefore his return isn’t necessary.
