Regé-Jean Page explains why he is leaving Bridgerton

Which will Bridgerton run out of Regé-Jean Page? The actor told Variety that he will not return for Bridgerton ‘s second season because he signed only with the first.

“It’s a one-season arc,” he explained about how the show’s producers gave him the role. “It will have a beginning, middle and end – give us a year.”

Page said he was interested in this setup because it “felt like a limited series” to him.

“I can get in, I can contribute my share and then the Bridgerton family moves on,” he said.

Although fans are sad to see him go, Page explained that in the bodice ripper genre, “the public knows that the bow is complete. They arrive knowing that, so you can tie people up in emotional knots, because they have that guarantee that we will go out and have the wedding and the baby. “

Bridgerton, which is based on a series of novels, will focus on the life of Anthony Bridgerton in the second season.

Fans who read the novels may have expected Page to leave, as the series is based on the books. But for some viewers who have never read Julia Quinn’s novels, they definitely expected Page to stay on the show, especially since he married and had a child with Daphne at the end of the first season.

However, Page says he is excited about what is to come, as he has a few other projects going on.

“I have nothing but enthusiasm for Bridgerton continuing to get off the steam train and conquer the world, ”he said. “But it is also worth completing these arcs and drilling the landing.”

Page had such a strong presence on the series that it will be hard not to miss him. But at least we’ll see where the rest of the Bridgerton family will end in season two.
