Bridgerton season two is almost here and I am so excited. We’ve finally gotten over the fact that Rege Jean “the god” Page isn’t returning for season two are looking forward to Kate and Anthony’s love story. Netflix announced that season two had finally wrapped back in November. And on Christmas Day, they dropped a video teaser announcing the release date of March 25th. Netflix knows that we have been in a Bridgerton desert thanks to COVID and didn’t want to leave us hanging. On Wednesday, Netflix released some first look photos from season two to tide us over for the next two months. Below are a few more details about season two from The Hollywood Reporter and the pics are below the post:
Here’s the official description for season two: “Driven by his duty to uphold the family name, Anthony’s search for a debutante who meets his impossible standards seems ill-fated until Kate (Simone Ashley) and her younger sister Edwina (Charithra Chandran) Sharma arrive from India. When Anthony begins to court Edwina, Kate discovers the true nature of his intentions — a true love match is not high on his priority list — and decides to do everything in her power to stop the union. But in doing so, Kate and Anthony’s verbal sparring matches only bring them closer together, complicating matters on both sides. Across Grosvenor Square, the Featheringtons must welcome the newest heir to their estate while Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) continues to navigate the ton whilst keeping her deepest secret from the people closest to her.”
I don’t know why Netflix keeps breadcrumbing us. The fact that I have to wait two more months for Bridgerton aggravates my soul. But I am going to sit here and eat all my bread crumbing food. I prefer that we get these little reminders from time to time so we don’t forget about the show and I am sure this is also Netflix’s motivation. The photos look amazing and the costumes are “chef’s kiss.” Kate Sharma looks incredidle but poor Penelope Featherington still looks ridiculous in her yellow frocks. Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) looks sexier than season one. Then again, it could be that I am just hungry for the new season. I look forward to seeing what scenes the photos come from and how they connect to the storyline. Anyways, my inner middle aged thotiana is feeling impatient and March 25th can’t get here fast enough. Hopefully, Netflix will release more teasers like this because I may combust from anticipation.

I know lots of people weren’t keen on him in Bridgerton, but Jonathan Bailey is an outstanding actor. I saw him on stage in Sondheim’s gender-switched Company a couple of years ago and he blew me away – went to win the Olivier for it too. Also good in Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Crashing.
Anyway, he’s the reason I might give the second season a go. Watched the first and the Duke was SEXY but got bored once they started boning. I preferred the build-up!
I’m so excited! I agree that Anthony seems sexier in these pictures than season one. and I’m interested in the side stories that aren’t in the books, like the Featheringtons and the new heir etc.
@Becks 1 – Asking you as you probably know: Is Netflix dropping the whole season at once or will it be week-to-week like The Crown?
It should be the whole season. That’s how Netflix did the first season and does most of their releases – including The Crown 😉
I’m expecting a baby due at the beginning of March and this is going to be my comfort and company once my partner returns to work. I’m very excited!
I am so excited! I squealed like a schoolgirl when I saw these! Anthony and Kate are perfect. How am I going to make it all the way to March?!
How has no one mentioned the true new star of the show. The corgi.
Respect the corgi.
I’m so excited for this. It looks great. There’s an improvement in hair and coatumes.
Do you mean costumes and hair styling are more accurate than season 1? Let’s not forget this show is a fantasy and therefore they don’t have to stick to reality. I personally love the richness of color and fabrics. Why make it boring by sticking to accuracy.
I’m so excited. I had to try the first season twice to get through it, though it’s totally my wheelhouse, because while Rege and Phoebe are very attractive, I wasn’t drawn in by their acting or their characters. But Kate and Anthony? Oh my. I love enemies to lovers, love the clown show of two characters who are so into one another but continue to deny the fact to themselves and others, and I think Jonathan Bailey and Simone Ashley are going to act circles around everyone. Anthony was a pill in season one, but he was an interesting, conflicted pill, which sets up this season so perfectly because we’ll enjoy watching him get knocked down a peg while digging into why he’s the way he is, and then we’ll get to see him go head to head with his match. Also, the chemistry oozing off those pictures? Good lord. *sweats in thotiana*
I found his character in season 1 to be a moron. Sexy moron but still a moron. I’ll watch it probably anyway
I think he looks sexier now because they’ve toned down the ridiculous sideburns from
S1. He’s a great actor, I’m looking forward to this.
I’m a little concerned about the lighting. The clip they released made Kate look muddy, and the header photo is also not great lighting. I feel like most shows are historically really bad at lighting dark skin, much less lighting a dark-skinned woman to look stunning. (Please turn to Insecure to show how lighting dark skin in dark scenes can be breathtaking.)
I’m optimistic though! The shot of them hunting and sitting in the parlor look better, so maybe let’s hope the sex scenes happen in the daytime for best visuals.
I’m excited for this, but I agree with Calypso that the lighting seems a little concerning. In a few of these photos her skin looks shiny? It might be a lighting issue or a makeup issue, but it’s frustrating because with a budget like this, the show should be able to get both right! The hunting photo looks great, and I love all the costumes. The actress playing Edwina reminds me a little of Marina from last season, with those really big eyes and curly hair.
Where is the Mallet of Death??!! I’m so worried they cut the Pall Mall scene which is the most hilarious of the book. I’m dying to see Anthony take the pink mallet….
I am so worried pall mall is cut as well. If it is it will be a stupid decision for fans of the books. It is one of my all time favorite scenes in any romance book.
We definitely need the mallet of death!
