Bridgerton fans can delight as the release date for the second series has finally been confirmed by Netflix. The period drama’s official Twitter account has recently released a video, confirming the series will return on March 25, 2022.
Several stars of the show including, new leads Jonathan Bailey and Simone Ashley appeared in the video where they read an ‘announcement’ from Lady Whistledown confirming the date. After the announcement, several fans took to social media to react to the news with one writing, “3 months to go!” while another said, “So long to wait!”
Bridgerton stars Jonathan Bailey and Simone Ashley appeared first where they were handed a letter. Jonathan, who plays Anthony Bridgerton, said, “Is that Whistledown? What’s she got to say today, the cheeky little mistress?” then all the stars read out a message saying, “Happy anniversary to our buzzy ton. It is customary for a first anniversary to gift paper, dear readers. I do hope you find this one informative. Bridgerton returns March 25th.”
Bridgerton was renewed for a second season in January, followed by an early order for Seasons 3 and 4 in April. However, the first season became Netflix’s ‘biggest show ever’ when it premiered in January. Although shooting for season 2 kicked off in May, the production was delayed, amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Ahead of the show returning to screens, Netflix described Simone’s new character, Kate, as “a smart, headstrong young woman who suffers no fools, Anthony Bridgerton very much included.”
Meanwhile, in the first look trailer for Bridgerton, Kate defiantly confronts lothario Anthony Bridgerton, played by Jonathan in a bid to call out his objective views of women. Showrunner Chris Van Dusen told Today With Hoda & Jenna that viewers should expect a romantic storyline between Anthony and Kate that’s ‘as sweeping and moving and as beautiful as viewers of the first season have come to expect from the show.’
