Just a few weeks ago, the adored period drama was renewed for a second season to nobody’s surprise. The show was breaking records as Netflix’s most-watched series, right off of the bat.
The second season is expected to “chronicle the pursuit of a suitable marriage for the eldest Bridgerton sibling, Anthony,” as told by Deadline. The charming and promiscuous Anthony is played by Jonathan Bailey (Crashing).
