Bridgerton

Before season two of Bridgerton even premiered, Netflix already renewed the wildly popular series for a third and fourth season.

"And now, as these beloved characters are entrusted to me, I cannot wait to lend my unique vision to the next two seasons. When it came time to pass the baton, I knew this unique voice was vital to the future of the show.” "I feel incredibly grateful to have partners as collaborative and creative as Netflix," Rhimes continued.

Anthony takes a stroll down memory lane and questions his feelings for Edwina. We recap Bridgerton Season 2 Episode 3, "A Bee in Your Bonnet."

For a moment, the viscount can’t look away from her and, to anyone looking from the outside, it seems that his body and soul are about to burst into flames. With the game over, Anthony finally gets a chance to talk to Miss Edwina. He explains that he will have to spend a great amount of time away from home after he is married to tend to his business, and Edwina assures that she shall have no problem with it. While Benedict is, for lack of a better expression, tripping balls, Anthony musters up the courage to propose to Edwina. He has everything he needs to do it, including his mother’s engagement ring and Kate’s blessing. Kate accidentally gets stuck in the mud and has to ask Anthony for help. And so Anthony settles for an upcoming loveless marriage to Miss Edwina Sharma (Charithra Chandran) just to fulfill his duty as the Viscount of Bridgerton. Or, at least, a marriage is what he and Edwina are counting on. The conversation goes as smoothly as possible, and Edwina is more than excited to share the good news with Kate. In another room of the manor, Anthony does the same with Daphne, stating that Miss Edwina has won his heart. Some of these guests are the Featheringtons, who are planning to pay a visit to the modiste to renew their wardrobe before the trip now that the new lord has arrived to put the finances in order. Back to the game, Kate hits Anthony’s ball and accidentally shoots it near his father’s grave. As Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) worries about what Madame Genevieve (Kathryn Drysdale) will say about seeing her at the market, Lady Portia (Polly Walker) tries to find a way to ensure that the Featherington estate will remain under her control. Getting to make fun of Cressida Cowper’s (Jessica Madsen) new outfit is just a perk of the trade. So far, Anthony still hasn’t proposed, but he’s hoping to pop the question at the dinner he and his family are hosting at Aubrey Hall for the Sharmas and Lady Danbury (Adjoa Andoh). The event is supposed to be the high point of a joint trip to the countryside that will also feature the Bridgertons’ traditional game of pall-mall. In the garden, Edmund decides to pick flowers for his wife (Ruth Gemmel), who, at the time, was pregnant with their youngest daughter, Hyacinth (Florence Hunt). Upon remarking that Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) would be jealous if she didn’t get her own bouquet, Anthony decides to join him.

And while the mistress of Aubrey Hall and her daughter, Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor), have their hands full making preparations and keeping the guests entertained, ...

He stares at his mother’s engagement ring and, for a moment, it looks like he has decided to listen to Daphne. But as Edwina is about to get into her carriage, Anthony strides out of the manor, gets down on one knee, and asks her to marry him. Instead of a wealthy bachelor, Jack is a penniless man, and all of his ruby mines in the Americas have failed. Anthony tries to explain himself to his sister, who compares the situation in which she found him with her compromising moment with the duke (Regé-Jean Page) in Season 1. The day of the ball finally arrives, and Eloise allows Penelope and her mother to convince her to accept her first foray into the dance floor. Edwina convinces her sister to take to the floor with Anthony in order to make the final arrangements for the proposal, but the dance doesn’t go exactly as planned. Inspired by a conversation with Prudence (Bessie Carter) about entrapping men into marriage, she arranges for her daughter and Jack to be found alone at the manor’s orangery by a number of Lady Bridgerton’s guests. Colin says that he wanted to apologize for his previous actions and to tell her he has forgiven her for trying to deceive him about her pregnancy. Miss Sharma tries to talk to the viscount about what happened the day before, but can’t seem to find her voice. Edwina blames her sister for the viscount’s failure to propose and asks her to smooth things out with him. Miss Sharma is initially reluctant, but after Anthony doubts her hunting skills, she decides to tag along, chaperoned by a poor maid that can’t seem to balance herself on her horse. The fact that Eloise seems to be legitimately interested in the pamphlets, and not just hunting for Lady Whistledown, offers some consolation, but poor Penelope never seems to catch a break: when Colin (Luke Newton) announces that he’s paying a visit to Marina (Ruby Barker), we can almost see her heart breaking into a million pieces. Upon arriving at Aubrey Hall, she’s horrified to learn that not only is Eloise (Claudia Jessie) still going back to the printer for more women's rights pamphlets, but that she even knows the shop’s apprentice by name.

'Bridgerton' creator Chris Van Dusen and stars Simone Ashley and Charithra Chandran weigh in on whether we'll see the Sharma sisters again in season 3.

And I love the fact that she has her own wants and needs and desires and feelings." I'm super excited to see them super loved up and happy in that sense." Ashley adds, "I'm super excited to see the post-marriage Kate and Anthony, to see them happy.

Showrunner Chris Van Dusen with stars Simone Ashley and Charithra Chandran speak to The Hollywood Reporter about the enemies-to-lovers storyline and being ...

“The chemistry that you see and feel between Jonathan and Simone as Anthony and Kate is just out of this world,” Van Dusen says. In a previous guest column for THR, Van Dusen shared that, from the get-go, he wanted to create a series that was intentionally inclusive, turning the period genre on its head and reimagining it. She made sure we were comfortable and confident, that we felt heard, that there was an easy window of communication.” “I think that’s because there’s just so much conflict to mine between Anthony and Kate, and they have this banter that is just so much fun to watch, and Jonathan and Simone are so good at it.” When Edwina is declared “the diamond” of the season, as Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) was in season one, Anthony knows whom he wants to marry — if only her sister approved of their union. Kate knows Anthony isn’t looking for love, and she wants better for the younger sister she’s looked after all of her life.

The plotline in season two is the romance between Lord Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) and Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley) — complicated by the fact that ...

Morris will celebrate with a livestream, "Maren Morris: Live From New York," on Amazon Prime and the streaming service's Twitch channel Saturday. Plus, it's a good reminder that big girls can be professional dancers, too. Season three isn't even centered on the city for which the show is named. She also shares her feelings about navigating life as a young aspiring pop star. What did we miss? What did you like about today's newsletter?

Another Bridgerton romance! Following Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) and Kate Sharma's (Simone Ashley) epic slow burn romance, fans have questioned if ...

We are definitely planning on following each one of the their romantic stories,” she shared during an interview with Entertainment Tonight. “We are not necessarily going in order. And that also makes it a lot of fun to watch, I think, because they don’t let each other off the hook.” You have huge similarities, which simultaneously makes you a really good person to confide in, but also sort of the worst person because you’re too similar,” The Club alum added about the siblings. “It’s very difficult to get hold of and it is not a straightforward relationship. “You don’t have too much of an inkling and actually, in a strange kind of way, as an actor, you don’t really want too much of an inkling because if you do, if you know exactly where you’re going, you can end up doing an awful lot of signposting and explaining your journey through things rather than actually just living it,” he explained at the time. Even just the feel of the show — it goes somewhere different, which is so fun to share,” he told The Wrap in March 2022.

Here's everything you need to know about the third season of Netflix and Shondaland's hit series, 'Bridgerton' — news, spoilers, cast, dates, and more.

There was some speculation that because Regé-Jean Page played the love interest in season 1 and then dipped that Simone Ashley would do the same and not reprise her role as Kate Sharma for the third season. While it sounds like we will get to see Benedict’s love story onscreen at some point, it might not be the focus of season 3. “I can’t mention or talk about anything after this season, [but] it was always my goal to focus on a different Bridgerton sibling every season and it’s no secret there are eight Bridgerton siblings,” Van Dusen explained. Huzzah! Rejoice and be glad because, yes, there will be a season 3 to this brilliant piece of Regency-era-inspired art. But while fans are still busy bingeing the latest installment of Netflix and Shondaland’s hit series, some are already wondering if there’s going to be more. The highly anticipated second season of Bridgerton is finally here!

"Bridgerton" Season 2 surprised Bollywood fans with a cover of "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham" in episode 6.

They're trying to be as London as possible, but what I love about the show is that in moments of deep sadness and in moments of jubilation, you see them reverting back to their culture." "I think what's really fascinating about the Sharmas is that essentially they're immigrants," Chandran said in a press conference ahead of Season 2. The soundtrack by Jatin-Lalit is a staple of any early-00s Bollywood playlist, and one of the last that the duo would make together after a truly iconic '90s run. The Sharma women, dressed in shades of yellow linked with the traditional pre-wedding ceremony, are juxtaposed with scenes of the Bridgerton brothers, drinking and jesting on the night before the big day. It's a star-studded ensemble and softly marked the end of a certain era of Indian filmmaking that explored marriage and family ties. The paradigmatic scene has translated into a celebratory song for any sort of happy occasion, which Bridgerton mimics with the three Sharma women gathered together.

The penultimate episode of this season finds both the Bridgerton and Sharmas doing damage control in the wake of the failed wedding.

He sees her in the distance, amid the rain and mist. He mentions how his family’s on the brink of ruin and that they all hate him despite him living his life only for them, but all he thinks about is her. And then he pulls his head back, shakes it, and says to her, “You have to stop.” (ANTHONY FICTIONAL CHARACTER BRIDGERTON, I SWEAR TO GOD.) She responds, saying he’s the one who’s been spinning her world off-axis. Of course they argue, and as she’s about to walk away, he asks: “Can you ever just agree?” He says she’s been stubborn from the moment they met, and she comments how that must really bother a man who’s used to getting his way and ordering people around. Kate asks her sister if they should head home, and Edwina scoffs at the idea that Kate cares about what she’d like. She wishes she had shouldered the burden when her husband died, not Kate. Hearing how Kate sacrificed so much for her family stills Anthony, and he watches her from afar. He calls out to the youngest Bridgertons, Hyacinth and Gregory, to come downstairs and join the party. The next day, the two families venture to the museum together to help improve their public image and spin their story before the ball. The viscount scolds his brother about his familial duty, and Benedict immediately knows this is about Kate — he’s noticed how Anthony looks at her. Eloise explains her predicament with the queen, and Penelope’s horrified. Back at the Bridgerton home, Penelope finds Eloise in her room, surrounded by a pile of Lady Whistledown pamphlets she’s about to toss. Then Newton — sweet, precious Newton — scampers into the room and tries to jump up on Anthony (with nary a growl!). Kate ushers Newton away from Anthony, and they both get up, standing too close, essentially checking each other out.

Bridgerton's first season was undeniably, unapologetically sexy. The raunchy regency drama based on the novels by Julia Quinn burst onto Netflix in December ...

And unfortunately, this makes for a rather boring Bridgerton—which, as Lady Whistledown will tell you, is the biggest sin of them all. Eventually, Anthony and Kate do consummate their love—outside under a pergola, in a scene straight out of a Fabio-covered romance novel. It doesn’t help that Kate has a seemingly perfect younger sister, Edwina (Charithra Chandran), who is the object of everyone’s eye and has multiple suitors—just like Kat’s sister in Shakespeare’s play. Quinn has acknowledged the similarities between her Kate and Shakespeare’s Kate, telling Glamour that “a lesser actress might have allowed Kate to devolve into a Taming of the Shrew caricature.” Their relationship is not dissimilar to that of Kate and Petruchio’s in Shakespeare’s comedy The Taming of the Shrew—an arrogant and overly-proud man constantly at odds with an intelligent and headstrong young woman, also named Kate, who’s sworn off men. The raunchy regency drama based on the novels by Julia Quinn burst onto Netflix in December of 2020 and instantly became a sensation for the streaming platform.

The books follow the eight Bridgerton siblings — Anthony, Benedict, Colin, Daphne, Eloise, Francesca, Gregory, and Hyacinth — as they find their true loves in ...

Critically, the shirt and waistcoat’s appearance in Season 2 marks a turning point in the second Bridgerton son’s relationship to his art. She wears bee-shaped jewelry when she and her sister attend the races and is later seen wearing a frock with what appear to be stylized bees incorporated into the design. To complete the look, the Bridgertons have a bee-shaped Florentine design added to their dance floor. When the bee shows back up on Benedict’s clothing, he’s high as a kite at a family dinner, thanks to some herbal refreshments Colin’s brought back from the continent. After befriending a professional artist, Benedict was drawn into a hedonistic, bohemian lifestyle — one he largely seems to have left behind at the start of Season 2. It’s up to her to calm his anxieties, in a scene that makes both of the young singletons realize just how fond of one another they really are. Rather than serving as a reminder of one of the family’s greatest tragedies, however, the bees that show up in Netflix’s Bridgerton seem to represent something far more hopeful. You can imagine, then, how the duty-bound Lord Bridgerton feels when a young lady is stung by a bee right in front of him. No, there’s no venom-sucking scene — sorry to everyone who expected things to go that way in the Netflix version — but still, way to go, bee, eh? Because he believes he will die young like his father — perhaps even in the same way — Anthony refuses to fall in love, much less marry for it. Quinn’s readers already know what happened to Edmund Bridgerton, Lady Violet’s late husband and the father of the Bridgerton children. Based on the first of the Bridgerton books, The Duke and I, Bridgerton Season 1 centered on Daphne’s romance with Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings. At the time, fans took the season’s final shot — a close-up of a bee — as a reference to the second Bridgerton novel, The Viscount Who Loved Me. In the book, Anthony, the young Viscount Bridgerton, finds himself forced to marry his intended’s protective elder sister after his attempt to suck venom out of a bee sting on her chest leaves them in a scandalous position.

On Friday, season 2 of the wildly popular show Bridgerton premiered on Netflix and readers of the same-titled Regency-era romance series by Julia Quinn ...

In season 2, Kate is just about to tell her sister the truth about everything, when Anthony proposes to Edwina. She accepts and the wedding day, paid for and orchestrated by Queen Charlotte, is strictly a plotline of the show. In the novel, Edwina is happy for Kate when she marries Anthony and recognizes that they love one another. (In the show, she's racing on horseback and falls, hitting her head. The show, in contrast, reveals a hurt and astonished Edwina when she learns of the connection between the two. He frantically tries to suck the venom out, terrified she will die like his father did, and the couple is caught in a compromising position. In The Viscount Who Loved Me, Kate and Anthony's connection emerges quite differently. Anthony finds her and comforts her, learning that her terror stems from the death of her biological mother, who died at night during a storm, when she was a young girl. In the book, while at the Bridgerton country estate Aubrey Hall, there is a tremendous thunderstorm that leaves Kate curled up into a ball on the floor of the library late one night. The royal's competition with and dogged search for the real Lady Whistledown also adds more outside tension to Kate and Anthony's story than is found in the book. Kate's race with Anthony at the beginning of the show, as well as the time they almost kiss while hunting, are both new to the storyline. (In the book, Anthony's fear is stated explicitly: he believes he won't live longer than his father and wants to avoid painful romantic attachment.) (Including an improper encounter between Anthony and Kate that forces them to marry, which doesn't happen in the show!)

Warning: this article contains spoilers for Bridgerton Season 2 and Julia Quinn's novel To Sir Philip, With Love. Fans of the Netflix show Bridgerton have ...

All we know is that in Season 3, no matter who is the focus, there's sure to be more drama and romance for everyone involved! Currently, the only pen pal Eloise has mentioned in the show is Colin, who writes to both Eloise and Penelope while on his travels. Philip and Eloise develop a pen-pal friendship but never meet in person. Fans of the Netflix show Bridgerton have been enchanted with sarcastic, free-spirited Eloise Bridgerton (Claudia Jesse) since the first season. The two form a close friendship that eventually becomes something more until Lady Whistledown reveals that Eloise has been fraternizing with someone below her station, causing a scandal. The answer might surprise you.

On Friday, Netflix released the newest season of 'Bridgerton,' the Regency-era drama. While season one was known for its rather explicit sex scenes, ...

However, nothing really lives up to the carnal delights of Bridgerton’s first season. I suppose this is good news for anyone planning to watch this once-horny period drama with their family for some reason, but it is a disappointment for those of us craving our ye olde smut. Bridgerton season two has arrived, and it brings me no pleasure (wink, wink) to tell you it is significantly less steamy than the first.

The third season of Bridgerton, might focus on Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie Beckett, but it could go out of the book's order. Here's what we know based on ...

But my priority, at least in the short term, is for her to find adventure and excitement," she said. Like the books, each season of "Bridgerton" has followed the romance of one of the eight Bridgerton siblings. The evening of the Bridgerton family's masquerade ball, Sophie is able to sneak away and attend. Presiding over the family is their mother, Violet Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell). Until this book, all of the matches in Bridgerton were from the same social set. Naturally, the Bridgertons will be back — there are more love stories to see through. In the book, Colin discovers Penelope's identity as Lady Whistledown; in the show, her identity has already been revealed. The season two already contains a revelation that's similar to one included in Quinn's fourth novel, "Romancing Mister Bridgerton," which follows Colin and Penelope's romance. Sophie Beckett, the book's love interest, is the illegitimate daughter of an earl. Who knows: Maybe even the iconic Lady Danbury (Adjoa Andoh) will get a love story of her own. While waiting for the season three premiere, try catching up on Quinn's books, which might give away some plot details. “This author shall have to purchase more ink,” the note said.

(Meanwhile, at the barber, Anthony explains to Benedict how it's actually because of his love and duty to his family that he's seeking a wife.) Lady Danbury ...

He utters a few lines, exploring what it means to truly admire a woman, but once he locks eyes with Kate and then his mother, he crumples up the paper and comes clean. Kate keeps Anthony off of the guest list, but he learns of the get-together when his mother, Eloise, and Colin head over. Anthony rushes in as the soirée draws to a close but is allowed to read “his” poem. He squeezes in on the other side of Edwina, forcing Anthony and Kate to sit even closer. Anthony begs his creative brother to play Cyrano and compose a love poem that he can play off as his own. Instead, he shows up at Lady Danbury’s with Nectar the horse in tow — a present for Edwina. Kate storms up to him, and, surprise, they bicker. Every other woman in the ton would happily marry him, he points out, and while Kate might not like what he has to offer, maybe Edwina should decide for herself. Defending her omission of the viscount, Kate says he doesn’t believe in love and is only seeking a wife out of duty. Kate retorts that their father also said the mark of a true gentleman is honesty. He says she thinks too much about it, and she says he thinks too little. (Meanwhile, at the barber, Anthony explains to Benedict how it’s actually because of his love and duty to his family that he’s seeking a wife.) Lady Danbury dryly points out how most marriages are business transactions. He’s sporting a faint circle beard, presumably to indicate the passage of time.
