Bridgerton’s author said she wants Daphne and the Duke of Hastings to return in season two, although they are not the main focus of her second book.
Julia Quinn, 52, has sold more than 10 million novels during her incredible career and wrote the inspiration behind Netflix’s success – The Duke and I – 21 years ago.
However, as the series moves into season two, which will be based on the book The Viscount Who Loved Me, Julia revealed that she wants the bosses to deviate from the plot and include spicy scenes featuring the characters of Phoebe Dynevor and Rege- Jean Page.
Bring them back! Bridgerton author Julia Quinn said she wants Daphne and the Duke of Hastings to return in season two, although they are not the main focus of her second book
Speaking about the couple returning in an interview with The Sun, Julia said: ‘I hope so. They appear on the [second] book. The series doesn’t follow the book word for word – and I don’t think [it] we must.
– I hope so, for no other reason that Daphne has the right to interfere in Anthony’s life. Denying her that chance would be a crime. I think it would be great to see. ‘
Julia has also sparked what fans can expect from the long-awaited second season, which will focus on Bridgerton older brother Anthony.
She said, ‘Anthony is going to be bad. Jonathan Bailey played it so well; you still love him, but he needs to be knocked down by a stake, and he will be knocked down by many stakes. It’s incredible. ‘
Love game: the couple, played by Rege-Jean Page and Phoebe Dynevor, impressed millions of viewers around the world with their on-screen chemistry and spicy scenes
In the first season, Anthony was seen trying to be the head of his big family while he was in love with opera singer Siena Rosso (played by Sabrina Bartlett).
Although viewers could see parts of his story, along with parts of the lives of the other five Bridgerton brothers in the first season, the focus was mainly Daphne.
Julia also revealed that her friends and family told her not to hope that the series would become a TV show, as many novels are bought and not bought in Hollywood.
However, after Bridgerton’s incredible success following her release on Christmas Day, Julia joked that she has now become her uncle’s favorite relative and even had to send signed copies to distribute to nurses in her nursing home.

In its first month of streaming, Bridgerton was watched by 82 MILLION homes worldwide and was a standout program in several countries.
The sassy series had many comments for its hot content, with several stars revealing that they were unable to watch it with their families.
Star Nicola Coughlan recently admitted that she was mortified watching the show with her mother, due to ‘uninterrupted’ sex on the screen.
“I knew very well what the episodes were like and the amount of sensuality in them,” she told the Make It Reign podcast. ‘When I showed her the first episode and Johnny Bailey’s ass appeared very quickly in episode one, she said,’ What’s going on! ‘
‘I had to say,’ it’s not my fault that I didn’t write, it’s novels and it’s a very important part of the story ‘, but I was still in trouble.’

Nicola, 34, who plays Penelope Featherington, explained how episode 6 – titled Swish – proved to be the most uncomfortable to watch with her mother.
‘With episode 6 I thought,’ oh my God, what am I going to do? It is to have sex without stopping! I’m going to have so many problems. “I said” having sex “on Graham Norton’s show and I was dead.
‘I was sweating when I watched! What I ended up doing was moving quickly through all the sexy parts and at the end of the episode she said, “that one was too short!” ‘
When asked if his family had seen the more adult scenes from the show during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Rege-Jean said: ‘There were some cousins missing from the WhatsApp family group and they said, “We made our tactical cups of tea when you started and when we got back you were still going! “‘
Oh gosh! Since then, several stars on the show have revealed that they have had to endure watching sex scenes with their families, with Nicola Coughlan recently admitting that she was mortified and ‘sweating’ while watching the movie with her mother (pictured as Penelope Featherington)
