Far be it from us to conquer Lady Whistledown, but a second season of Bridgerton seems to be one consumed fact.
TVLine found that production of Shonda Rhimes’ exuberant period drama could begin in March 2021, despite the fact that Netflix has yet to formally deliver the series a renewal. A streamer representative declined to comment.
BridgertonThe inaugural season of eight episodes was launched on Christmas Day. On Saturday, it reached the Top 10 of Netflix’s most watched movies and series. At the moment, it’s holding steady at number 2, right behind George Clooney’s space photo The midnight sky.
Based on Julia Quinn’s novels, Bridgerton follows the 19th century heroine, Daphne (YoungerPhoebe Dynevor), the eldest daughter of the mighty Bridgerton family, looking for a husband at Regency London. All the while, Daphne and her potential suitors live under the omniscient scrutiny of gossip Lady Whistledown (Julie Andrews). Daphne finally finds her date in Duke of Hastings (To the peopleby Regé-Jean Page). The two feign mutual disinterest, but soon the sparks fly.
Chris Van Dusen acts as a showrunner / EP.
